Pros

Work from home, great benefits, and great people.

Cons

Horrible annual compensation review process and pay increases. You need to negotiate your best pay when interviewing, because you’ll be lucky to get a decent raise after that. Good raises are for Directors and above.

Bad company to work for

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home and decent pay and bonus

Cons

The management is lacking clear direction, which makes execution challenging. Processes change unexpectedly, creating difficulties in keeping up. Developers are under pressure to perform despite these hurdles. Additionally, the quality of IT execution is subpar, and management often displays an arrogant attitude, failing to treat employees with respect. No career growth.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re glad that you appreciate the ability to work from anywhere and our competitive total rewards offerings. We’re sorry to hear about the challenges with leadership and lack of clear direction, as we take pride in ‘knowing our purpose’ and ensuring that we transparently share our roadmap and strategic initiatives and any additional context that may be helpful to understand the ‘why.’ We believe that every employee should be treated with respect regardless of their level or position and invite you to further discuss with your Talent and Culture Business Partner so that we can better understand what you’ve been facing and work to address it. As we’ve continued to build out our Engineering Teams in China and India, it can be difficult to find convenient times for everyone to connect. We welcome your feedback and input so we can minimize the impact that it has on work/life balance. Thank you again for your feedback, it is valued.
