Pros

Used to be decent enough

Cons

I have never seen a company run itself so completely through a blender. Lay off after lay off after layoff Latest rounds cut very deeply All the best people left immediately when they could, the talent is long gone People left behind are not the best No ability to identify talent and retain or develop it Imported very nasty external executives with little or no understanding of business Donated all their best talent to direct competitors via complete incompetence Zero appreciation, recognition or reward for outgoing employees who contributed tremendously, not even a “thanks” Not sure how the cultural damage can ever be undone

Pros

Fact: If you're an engineer, then you get paid a lot. If you aren't, then you're a peasant and get abused by said-engineers through entitled requests.

Cons

- Bribes employees with bonuses as a way to over compensate for the amount of stress this job gives its employees - Extremely entitled engineers that demand you to pay for their personal life expenses (and get away with it) - Causes severe amounts of anxiety due to clueless Executive Assistants - Non-existent 'work-life' balance that they claim to talk about so much - The stress from this job will cause you to go on medication - Everyone looks out for themselves, so middle management benefit and don't promote lower grade employees since they feel threated for their own job security - Bullying is 'looked the other way'. You can report it, but nothing gets done about it.

Pros

Good salary and benefits mostly great people to work with nice offices flexible work approach

Cons

Poor communication Management don't appear to know the direction of the company with restructures occurring at least every 6 months Lack of transparency in restructures with people being let go in secret - culture of paying someone to make them go away Very poor HR department - unaware of HR related legal regulations, systemic people issues not dealt with Evidence of discrimination and unethical behaviour with employees not wanting to report this for fear they will be 'asked' to leave the company A lot of senior people who don't seem to do any work - or at least create any outputs, wildly inefficient It appears a lot of people are promoted because they've been in their role a certain amount of time or they have a poor line manager who will not challenge requests for promotion As above, line managers lacking the skills needed to manage people. This results in either people running amok, doing no work or not getting developed as the company promises
