Too much thrash, politics & incompetence

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Can still justify staying as it's still overall a decent culture when you compare it to other big tech companies, but it has really gone down the toilet over the years. Stick it out at if you don't care about professional growth and want to collect an okay paycheck. If you're hungry and early in your career, you should leave.

Cons

Stay away from LTS marketing. Highly political with "leaders" who have been at the company for too long and have gotten too comfortable for real innovation to take place. Favoritism is rampant and poor management is allowed to exist. Talented employees leave and colleagues who were doing great work but lacked visibility due to poor managers quietly fired.

Business Outlook

Pros

-"Mouse Utopia" with unlimited snacks and comforts -Benefits were good but these were slowly drained -Some smart and hard workers, especially mid-level engineers

Cons

-Advertises inclusive workplaces, work-life balance, and several other corporate virtue signals on its platform yet breaches them egregiously internally -Has minions that monitor negative reviews of the company (likely reading this) to try to prevent leaks of its despicable culture -On culture: one of the most passive-aggressive, sycophantic ones you will ever experience -Exemplifies everything disordered about the Professional Managerial Class and HR committees -Quickly flipped their fickle "inclusion" policies as soon as their AI arms race took hold and pushed away their ESG corporate symbology -Ran an offshoring campaign to India under the nose of some but obvious to others, with swaths of middle management leaving starting in 2023 -"Flattening orgs" = creating ambiguous incentive and promotion structures so the politicking can politic even more -After all the re-orgs, what was left of management was largely a sociopath's team
