Springboard reviews

They insert too much process into everything, pragmatism is thrown outside the window almost all the times As a high performer, you are often buttoned down due to frustrating processes and this impacts your growth (career/compensation/etc.) They follow strict salary bands, so good for you if you are poor/average performer because you will get at least what is in the band, but bad if you are high achiever, because you CANNOT get more than the band. Company's processes force you into one size fit all approach where total number of possible sizes are limited. So if you an outlier in a positive way (i.e. you really excel at what you do), you will often be buttoned down due to only limited number of available sizes where you can be fitted Managers are a sham, they don't write code (not even senior management in tech), well at least not better than their reportees. People who don't write code (managers) are responsible for annual appraisals - so highly absurd way of judging - Again, a boon for low/average performers, but a curse for high achievers Everyone loves process, you can use loophole like story point gimmick to show you over achieved and end up gaming the system in your favor. If you want increments and promotions, do what your managers expect - which might or might not be the best thing to do. Some senior team members really rough up other team members, they talk weirdly and they often insult others and their managers don't do anything. So learn to not take insults very seriously and stay away from such jerks Internally too much politics for quarterly awards - people fight for things which has visibility and those who don't, end up never getting any awards no matter how hard or relevant their contributions were. Managers don't care to keep themselves updated neither do they properly report your work to senior management who decide awards/compensation/promotion etc. They are too busy in processes and meetings. Process triumps pragmatism. Common sense is really lacking in senior management.

A pristine and ideal image in marketing materials and publicity, however, the day-to-day operation is far from glamorous Do your due diligence before you apply, get a sense of the digs and see if it’s a place you want to spend 40+ hours a week No matter how desperate you are for a job, or how annoyed you may be at your current gig, there are some companies you’re better off not working for and Springboard is one of them Even if the money is good, the role seems irresistible, and even your friends say it’s worth a shot, accepting a role at a disoriented company can set your career back and even jeopardize your future success former employees who were not in terms have gone through horrific BGV statements by HR People who have been terminated from the previous employer for integrity issues are Managing Directors and Managers here. Nonperformers are retained in the company if they know to knock the right door. Junior-level employees have to come up with a strategy plan (brainstorm) before MD's discussion with investors, Management, and other stakeholders Get ready to get your regular visits to a psychologist once you start working to ensure you are in the right frame of mind to deal with bull stories and tantrums Top performers are told that they are not working satisfactorily and insulted in front of the entire office. If you question anything that is working well for specific individuals benefits, consider yourself a bait HR does not follow any process or take suggestions but wants others to follow the HR process. The majority of employees are friends and family who have found a good source of income for the retirement plan and future investments.
