Strong pay and interesting work, but toxic management culture

Senior director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good salary, perks and decent benefits - Great brand, complex and highly tech focussed products in AI and Data - Mostly sharp minds around especially quality of engineers is good - those who joined in last 2-3 years in India - Comparatively stable company for job security and good WLB

Cons

- US based management is toxic and see India team as threat instead of partner creating blame game, toxicity for India based team and leaders - Bell curve has suddenly make Salesforce kind of Amazon like environment where managers are forced to give lower ratings to specific set of employees even if they are performing good - Stock refreshers are very bad and uneven even at senior level positions causing people to leave as many hit cliff after 4 years

Lack of Direction, Limited Growth, and Management Gaps

Sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid benefits that provide good baseline support for employees. Account Executives are proactive and helpful, creating a positive and collaborative working environment.

Cons

Management direction tends to shift frequently, which creates uncertainty and makes it difficult for teams to stay aligned on long-term goals. There is also limited openness to feedback from ground teams, resulting in decisions that may not reflect operational realities. Career progression is unclear, with few structured pathways for growth. High performers often feel “locked in” to their current roles rather than being developed for the next step, which can be demotivating over time. There is a strong tendency toward micromanagement. Even when targets are achieved, top performers are consistently pushed for more until the very last day, with little recognition or space to sustain performance. This creates burnout rather than long-term excellence. Some newer managers appear to lack situational awareness and may prioritize alignment upward over advocating for their teams. This impacts team morale and reduces trust at the ground level.
