This review is just for information of true inside picture to the world. Very few people have spoken about how green is the grass inside.
1. Rude Management (do not want to even listen you if you do not have dependency)
2. Back stabbing and politics. (Read more on that at the end.)
3.Lot of changes to culture, policies, strategies, without taking all employees into consideration. Only top level people like lead, architects would be involved and rest of the employees need to figure out what is changing or the way things are changing,
4. Management officially sent an email to all employees asking them to review company on Glass door really good. Probably this is the reason review score has reached to 4.3 from 3.1 or 3.2. And most of the reviews are from new comers, because they are told on the day of joining to do so. Nothing wrong in it, but no one spoke about it on Glassdoor, so I thought it is my ethical responsibility to share the truth.
4. If you do not have good equations with the favorites of management, then you are back stabbed, ousted for even non issue things. So play favorites, if you wanna be around or get promotions.
5. All authority is now with lead person. So your actual boss would be your lead and not the boss on the paper. If you do not lick your lead, no matter how great you are at your work, you will be 'kicked out' by creating issues against you. Your boss would not even verify if lead is telling the truth. I heard later from my ex colleague that bosses were instructed to do so by senior management. Very very toxic environment.
6. Lack of transparency. Recently job title structure is changed without letting people know. In fact when I interviewed for Gallup, my soon to be boss told me that WE ARE A VERY TRANSPARENT COMPANY.
7. Full of Nepotism: If you are somehow a relative of key players, you would even see that position would be created for you. But if you are not, almost no chances to get promoted, unless you start boot licking or sycophancy.
8. If you mention of slightest of an issue about lead or any one in the team to your boss, you are screwed. Within a month or two you would be sitting with your boss, with either a resignation letter or termination letter. You get witch hunted for doing this and things take turn this fast.
9. If the company is so great, why people leave and why do you keep hiring? In fact in my last on year at Gallup, I had 4 bosses changed and it gets very difficult to build relationships with changing bosses. Same is the case for most other employees.
10. If as a bottom employee, I can see these things, I still wonder why would management not see this or if they are choosing to pretend that they do not see it.
11. This company does not have reputation in technology at least. Because when I interviewed outside
people
My advise: So if you want to stay here, do all those things that would not get you fired or troubled but great quality in work.
