Terrible Senior Management - disconnected, vindictive and all white male.
Pros
Regular working level people are nice. San Mateo location is nice. Free food is nice. Work is interesting.
Cons
Senior management is all White Male. Senior management has no idea of the skill sets of their staff and what is needed to be successful. Senior management appears to adopt the latest management fads ( eliminating cubes for large tables and noisy open work areas) rather than sensible decision making. Absolutely no interest in the skills and interests of the average employee - they are in it for themselves. Employees are replaceable work units. Recently cut lose from EMC, Greenplum is now known as Pivotal and is using this as an opportunity to settle scores with EMC and EMC originated staff through reorganization and downsizing even if it ends up costing them valuable resources and hurts their ability to deliver projects.
