FireEye reviews

- Toxic corporate environment. Employees with some years there are unhelpful, annoying, toxic, and will sell you out to gain points with your boss. - Managers are micro-managers, rude, they tend to focus on finding the culprit rather than finding a solution. - No growth potential. It is all about relationships, relationships, relationships, you can see in the office how people try to build personal relationships with the boss to secure the position. - No upper-management defense. If you have a complaint about your manager, his/her boss won't do anything to address the issue. - Extensive meetings throughout the week. You get to spend 6-8 hours of meetings as a developer every week. - Extensive numbers of dependencies in each application. Some devops engineer are super rude and it's like you are bothering them all the time. - No team building focus. - No trust on C-suite. For them, you matter nothing. - India focus, the company is going India! We get more and more bosses from India than from US. I guess they are laying people off to just go and outsource all engineering jobs. This is not a very american way of thinking, even when the CEO takes pride of been an "American". - I worked long hours on weekends and nights just to not get recognized in meetings.

Layoffs every 6-9 months that butcher morale and conveniently eliminate good employees, overlooking people who are terrible. Guess leadership expects the good ones left behind to pick up the slack for everyone. People leave left and right to escape the sinking ship. Leadership and organizational changes seemingly every quarter, combined with always-changing business strategies (attempts to remain relevant as FEYE falls behind competitors). If our leaders don't even want to stick around, why should average employees? R&D priorities are constantly being changed, months-long efforts and investments are killed at the drop of a hat. Revenue-generating products are gutted, hiring all goes to India. Lack of 401k matching is "offset" by stock options... Go look up FEYE stock price. Lots of internal politics and all that comes with it.... Can't count how many times I've heard newer employees ask "Is this normal here?"
