Great Benefits with Terrible Management
Pros
- Benefits are stellar - Pay is at or above industry counterparts - Company yearly meetups are exceptional - Amazing diversity and cultural activities
Cons
- Directors and upper level management are out of touch. Old guard has been around forever and doesn't take responsibility for own missteps. - Lack of transparency in hiring process. Hired as a frontend expert only to be put in a legacy system to work on backend code. - Really rushed projects where quality is greatly sacrificed. - Lots of pager duty overtime. Products are released unfinished and buggy. - Told we are embracing remote in a letter from the CEO, but 6 months later we were told everyone needs to return to the office. Then we laid off most everyone we hired as remote only (outside of office range). - Engineering teams are tired and quick to pass the buck as they have to much on their plates. - Bad company outlook with stocks which is a good percentage of your pay
