Stay away for now

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Peers are supportive during these uncertain times.

Cons

The company was purchased in June 2019 and it’s been changes after changes since then. Departments were disbanded or merged and either people asked to move or leave. There are new changes coming that many do not agree with. Departments (project management, technical writing, qa) that used to be siloed with their own head of department are being split between different teams and are now reporting to a development head/lead instead of their respective team head/lead. Great people that have been with the company a couple of years or longer are leaving the company and senior management is passing it off as normal turnover. Morale is down across many departments as they await their fate. With the new parent company, the development is slowly moving away from US/UK and being off-shored to India. Unless you want instability for the next months, stay away.

Toxic environment

Operations analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home was useful if the weather & driving conditions were not advised.

Cons

There was no room for growth. Though the organization had many internal job postings, when I applied my current supervisor or his report were not willing to see me move forward. There is prejudice & favoritism in this company.

Terrible middle management ruins everything

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Flexible and relaxed working environment. - First class office in an excellent location. - Good tech stack, which attracts smart engineers. - Decent travel opportunities.

Cons

- The middle management is severely incompetent, takes credit for everything that goes right and shifts the blame to someone else when things go wrong. As a result, it is very difficult to get promoted or recognised if you are not a manager. - Offshore teams that have no idea what they are doing. - Mediocre salary. - No effective feedback cycle, objectives, or career development. - Very bad engineering practices that come from management and their desire to deliver things quickly, which results in bad quality software, a lot of bugs and late hours trying to fix the bugs and release them.
