Pros
- Not many to name since the reign of the new management. - Industry has big opportunities if not squandered. - Swanky office
Cons
- Do your research into the company’s history and affiliations #GrabYourWallet. - Annual Review process has become a joke among engineering. The highest rating is “world class”, which management has admitted is not attainable. This is designed to keep salaries low. - Undertones of bigotry are now widespread. - Company now writes bogus reviews on review sites. - After installing more “metrics focused" non-technical engineering leadership, the ensuing disaster has been swift and spectacular and has included the shutdown of the Silicon Valley office, which, although had a high operating cost, had produced the highest ROI in innovation and successful product launches. - A new lack of technical understanding throughout the organization. New engineering managers must fight fires daily and perform surgery on legacy PHP tech debt. - Dangerous refusal to address serious technical debt and security flaws. - Incompetence at best, malice at worst in the new human resource processes (they can’t even lay people off properly!). - Turnover is ridiculously high. Cynicism, gossip and political power struggles now run rampant. - Key players that had carefully nurtured the culture of innovation for many years have left or been forced out. - Company continues an un-defendable strategy and over reliance on integrations with large social networks, which are rapidly becoming formidable competitors.
