Quarterly layoffs is the company culture! Gotta run

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office, some social activities, Free drinks, coffee

Cons

Every quarter the work place is like a slaughter house, specially if newly acquired, the layoffs keep happening to the ones getting paid too much or having performance issue, so either way you are out unless you work in the Manila or cork, Ireland.. Too many layoffs, so much work on the remaining people.

Who moved my cheese?

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Well, if you look to work for software company that is run like a bank and innovation is synonymous with a patchwork of technologies way past its prime, be my guest.

Cons

Everyone who's working there and at least has got some brain cells left should read the book "Who moved my cheese?" I am sure you are smart and will soon enough find out, that all the good cheese is gone and what's left behind, well you know what it is. Anyway you do not need to stay there, no one will show you gratitude if you do. So move on and enjoy the taste of new Cheese! Spend $12 on the book, read it and look around you and then make a smart decision or pay a multiple of that for the professional help of a psychiatrist.

Tired of the Politics

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Do your job, and for the most part, management won't bother you

Cons

Politics - I'm really tired of management saying one thing in public during town hall and all-hands meetings, then behind closed doors the opposite. Don't preach thinking outside the box, helping sales, and going beyond your role if you are only going to shoot down every idea or slap someone on the wrist when try to go above and beyond to generate revenue. Compensation - No Bonus structure and pitifully small raise pool. If you are in a delivery role, don't expect to be rewarded for hard work. They instituted a program to acknowledge other employees, but management is scared to use it in fear they will be seen as spending too much money and breaking budgets. Make sure you ask for larger salary up front.
