      Good Work, Pay, and Benefits but Office Politics

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good compensation and benefits - Able to work on interesting and meaningful projects if you take initiative - Relatively relaxed and laidback - PTO, work from home, usually not too much work

      Cons

      - This is said many times before, but quite a bureaucracy with office politics - Hard to stay on same page as other teams in department - Knowledge sharing is minimal if you don’t take the time to go out and learn it - Dependent on product managers you work with, but often will be brushed aside if your work is considered low priority. - Many moving parts mean slowness, projects could drag very long if it involves work from other teams

      Good Benefits, More Indians, Micro Mgmt in all Scrums

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great Benefits - Great CEO (Dan Schulman) and CTO (Bill Ready) - Encouraging physical environment - Uses the best technology tools - Non-senior developers are the best (Don't go to seniors for questions, they have attitude)

      Cons

      - Micro Management - Standups are more than 30 mins, goes to an hour or so - No Multi-culture - Higher or executive management don't care under the hood when employees are stressing out with micromanagement of these bad managers. - Code added complexity by senior guys, they only know... and they are busy... on top of it, they show off that they are best brains when you go to them. The first thing to eradicate/reduce, the manager should stop going to them for everything.
