Pros

Competitive salary that is generally in line with market rates.

Cons

If you are considering applying for a Technical Support role, I would strongly encourage you to think carefully before doing so. Despite the title, the role feels much more like a call centre position where every aspect of your work is monitored and tracked. Performance targets are extremely difficult to achieve, and employees often feel more like numbers than valued professionals. There is very little trust or autonomy, and the level of monitoring can make it difficult to feel respected for your expertise and experience. There is also a significant emphasis on AI, to the point where it can feel as though the long-term goal is to replace technical support employees rather than invest in and develop them. Another aspect I found concerning was the use of accent-modification tools. Accents are part of who we are and should not be treated as something that needs to be hidden or corrected. If you come across this review while considering a role here, take the time to evaluate whether this environment aligns with your expectations and career goals. There are companies out there that place greater value on their people and treat them with the respect they deserve.

Pros

Better than not having a job

Cons

An exodus of tenured engineers (both HW and SW). No culture. Zero appreciation. The bar is raised for existing employees but lowered for external hires. For example, an outside director was recently hired as an SVP, and a bunch of barely experienced Engineering Managers (EMs) were brought in as directors. Meanwhile, internal EMs take years just to become Senior Managers, and a promotion to director feels like winning the lottery. Additionally, the company removed the Senior Software Engineer level as a terminal role, giving existing senior engineers a one-year ultimatum to level up or face termination. AI could have made our lives easier, but leadership - a title they hardly deserve - has turned the workplace into a literal Hunger Games.
