A good place to start, but a bad place to stay

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the greatest and kindest people you will ever meet. Almost everyone I know who has left will continue to talk about how much they miss the people that they met working here. Because of this a lot of entry level software engineers who might not succeed at other companies thrive and grow here for their first few years.

Cons

In the engineering organization it is so easy to stagnate and fall behind in your career. There are simply not enough technically challenging projects to go around and the last few years this has only gotten worse as security and OE work has risen to unsustainable levels. Scaled Agile Framework is executed very poorly. It stressed everyone out, everyone agrees it is ineffective, but they continue to do it. Meanwhile I have never seen a roadmap that spans more than 3 months and many projects make it all the way to the finish line before Product considers the hypothesis or measurement plan.

Not great - Not Bad

Pros

Overall a nice environment but nothing special. Free meals on Fridays was good, along with the free beverages and coffes in the office.

Cons

There are no oppurtunities, salaries are low and working students, although they do a lot of work within their working hours, they actually treated as second-class employees.
