Pros

free lunches every day monday - friday

Cons

Software safety metrics, reliability performance indicators, number of software issues ... are carefully "massaged" and "cooked" in order to present a faked vision of technical achievement. If you see technical problems/bugs or managerial inefficiencies then dare not suggest any change! Otherwise, you will be reprimended later, sometimes months afterwards. Definitly not a safe environment for working.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We can assure that safety is our #1 priority. We have safety personnel embedded across the organization to ensure checks and balances and prevent a conflict of interests, as well as ensure safety is woven into everything we do. Safeguard is one of our core values and we do not take it lightly (in fact, everyone's bonus is tied in part to safety). However, even if this weren't true, we keep a safety driver behind the wheel every time we test our technology so they can take over if need be. There is no feasible way to fake that. We definitely could do a better job of communicating throughout the organization about all the safety steps we take across different departments, so we appreciate your review since it helps us better understand this gap in communication. If you have any concerns, please bring them up confidentially with HR because we take safety very, very seriously.
