Playstore Production Associate

Pros

This team has the potential to be best they can be but they need to get out of their own way with their egotistical know it all attitude.

Cons

This Playstore Production Management team are some of the most pompous, arrogant, juvenile punks I have ever had the misfortune of coming across. My manager wanted to know when things weren't getting done or were going wrong but when I approached him he would be defensive, accusing, openly blaming and quite snotty and offensive. This is not the hallmark of anyone cut out to manager other people. When approaching him with concerns or mistakes, he would twist and turn things around on me that I was blaming other people. And I thought, are you for real? The female manager was one of the most pompous peacocks that could of used a little ego balancing and reality check. I have news for you, you cannot brow beat, lecture and force feed your sloppy training program and then get on your high horse and lecture people that they are not meeting your expectations. Your training program was like trying to follow an untied off balloon let go in a room. This team is scatterbrained and cocky and comes across as hair on fire, them gets snippy when things go wrong. Then you will get a email that says "Oh, now I see how this was confusing, my bad!" Well, the damage was already done. Here's a clue. Treat your contractors like the qualified, professionals who have brains, skills and common sense that you fail to acknowledge or bother to allow an ounce of autonomy to prove themselves without your nitpicking micromanaging.

Company full of people running around caring only about promo

Pros

Free food and a nice gym.

Cons

People only care about promotion with little to no regard about sustaining a product. Quality has been ran over by a truck and set on fire. This is unsustainable but as long as ad money keeps the party going, nobody will care. Workplace is full of dreamers and very few doers.

Pros

You get to work with smartest people in the world on projects impacting billions of people every day. Get paid hansomely, free coffee and snacks on every floor and top it up with gyms and game rooms. Awesome.

Cons

Working with smartest people in the world means a lot of peer pressure: if you underperform it will be noticed, real fast, and it can be hard to keep up. And once you underperform you can find yourself overboard pretty fast.
