Toxic workplace

Business Outlook

Pros

Good food on campus, free company swag, great benefits

Cons

They work you like a dog til you burn out. Then you get kicked out by being placed on a performance improvement plan you can’t achieve. Chaotic work environment and no work life balance.

Stay Away.

Pros

Ability to upskill and learn.

Cons

It is all about performance management, and nothing about actual tech work. Company is heavily bloated with half baked enterprise initiatives. Not a place for doers.

Pros

- Benefits are excellent - Pay is some of the best - Very modern tech stack - High caliber of talent - Terrific work-life balance

Cons

- Being a pay-for-performance company where everyone is bonus eligible sounds nice but there are fixed distribution percentages which are directly tied to your bonus. Those that ever actually get the full amount are extremely few. In 5 years I've had 7 managers, 0 worked with me to set goals that tie back to performance. - Performance management 2x per year is terrible (manage significant % out of company annually). Bias senior leaders inappropriately influence for their teams. They tell you it's not about distributions & you have to own the ratings, but you get backlash if you disagree with leadership. - Lots of expectation to do more beyond your job (volunteer, mentor, blog) just to get a satisfactory PM rating - Massive reorgs in some areas (7x in 5 years) - Career growth really depends on the people leader you get, which changes frequently
