Great company, though room for improvements

Senior engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Nice place to work * Interesting technology to work on * Exciting to work on things that millions of people use * Flexible work environment * Good benefits, feeling senior management actually cares about employees

Cons

* Tight deadlines and under resourced projects can lead to occasional long working hours (work/life balance is often good, but there are times when it isn't where better planning could have prevented this, hence the low rating) * The process used to determine promotions and pay-rises, TAP, is an opaque black-box.

Good intern experience

Intern software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Smart people working on interesting projects - Friendly (and highly international) work environment - Lots of interns; various social events organised - Only one meeting per week - Decent canteen - Executive team and HR are very professional - New buildings should form a great campus

Cons

- Seriously sub-par IT for such a high-tech company - Project management model was designed for hardware, so doesn't always fit software projects - Some projects under-resourced - Sometimes a bit *too* professional. Internal and external communication is often heavily sanitised by marketing and legal departments
