Toxic culture

Pros

Great learning opportunities & tools. Nice office with Starbucks on site.

Cons

Performance Management - it’s every 6 months and it’s horrible has caused a very toxic environment and no one feels safe and the focus is not so much on work but job security. Extreme high turnover for folks under 3 years. Some people don’t even get proper feedback they are out by 6 months. I am people leader and it suck’s because I cannot even protect my people properly.

Good pay and benefits overshadow toxic culture issues

Pros

The pay is good and the benefits package is fantastic.

Cons

Toxic “job family” culture, zero accountability for correction, terrible people leadership and twice annual completely subjective performance reviews. It may seem like they’re always hiring but that is because they are also always firing. I was not fired but chose to walk away from the egregiously toxic culture amidst a terrible job market.

Pros

The pay and compensation is relatively good. Coworkers are generally quite nice.

Cons

Performance management is terrible, and it incentivizes poor engineering practices. Very political, doing good work is not enough. The AI psychosis among upper levels of leadership has also gotten really bad recently. Leadership and management make doing your job really hard.
