Looks Good on Paper, Disappointing in Practice

Pros

Brand recognition on your resume

Cons

Stack ranking culture: Performance reviews are driven by a ranking system that encouraged unhealthy internal competition rather than collaboration, often sidelining real contributions in favor of politics. Management appears more focused on image, visibility, and participation in high-profile initiatives than on genuinely supporting their teams or addressing operational issues. Processes place too much trust in manager inputs without adequate verification, leaving employees vulnerable to errors that can take weeks to months to address.

Toxic workplace

Pros

Good food on campus, free company swag, great benefits

Cons

They work you like a dog til you burn out. Then you get kicked out by being placed on a performance improvement plan you can’t achieve. Chaotic work environment and no work life balance.

Pros

Ability to upskill and learn.

Cons

It is all about performance management, and nothing about actual tech work. Company is heavily bloated with half baked enterprise initiatives. Not a place for doers.
