Toxic Corporate Culture

Pros

Good benefits, good pay, good hardware.

Cons

- 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.

Pros

I don't find pros, I regret that I joined the company.

Cons

People in management has too much power and they take advantage of your visa status. Manager in the company talks rudely and tell you openly that he will get you fired if you don't whatever he says.
