Developers reporting to wrong dept. manager

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Near to Bart. Good Benefits. Work from home anytime.

Cons

Due to re-org developers are reporting to a wrong dept. manager. And these managers has zero knowledge on what devs are working and it is a huge morale killer. Tried to bring this up with HR and the advise is to leave or work under these managers. Stock price is not helping the morale. High attrition rate, friday means someone leaving

Lack of Vision

Payroll manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Location, Free Benefits, Great Wellness program

Cons

HR lacks vision of direction of the company. Accounting team lacks vision to new ideas to streamline obsolete practices. New managers are not allowed to come in and bring something new to the table, just excessive meetings and talk, with no action. Has not adapted to the Bay Area culture of working responsible, just a culture of penny pinching, and every dollar counting.

Bad Management and Low Pay

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Health benefits are great. Lots of ping pong tables, arcade games, and a few pool tables. Good selection of snacks, barista on-site for coffee, and free beer and wine on most afternoons after 5 PM.

Cons

Management is horrible. Promotions are based on how much the biased Manger likes you and not based on actual preformance. HR protects the Managers, if you ever go to HR, your complaints will be ignored! Pay and Bonus is below market rate. The line management and HR uses the most is, "We can reevaluate at the next review", when nothing happens at the next review. Stock is worthless when it's constantly going down.
