      Reduced Employee Morale

      Senior program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • Big and established company • Flexible to work from anywhere

      Cons

      • Employee morale and culture is negatively affected while the management is trying to make the numbers and company look better, causing to lose many valuable talents • Very hierarchical, traditional, and process-oriented structure • Top down decision-making approach • Overall if flexibility is not a big issue, I would not recommend working there!

      No Diversity in Engineering

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, great set of products and services. Compensation is ok, could be improved in some of the engineering roles. Can’t think of many other pros, trying to hit the 20 word minimum limit to be honest.

      Cons

      No diversity in engineering. It’s operated as a compete sweatshop. Nights and weekends are normal working hours for some BUs. No advancement if you are not part of the same ethnic group.. You are replaced by someone who can work the extra hours and has the yes sir attitude. Contractors are flown in over a span of two days and stuffed into apartments with others to do sub par work for sub par pay.
