Thoughtful & Deliberate. Going Through Transformation

Senior vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a generally well-run, structured company, where people tend to be thoughtful and deliberate. It is going through transformation right now. Sharper focus on performance and what’s needed for the future. Comments made on supposed guidance on dress code were grossly misrepresented and distorted, which I find only fair for me to refute based on what I know as an existing employee (versus people who presumably have already left the company).

Cons

Pace of change can be faster, although journey has already started.

Toxic Corporate Metrics and Politics Trashing a Once Great Culture

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
