Favoritism, Unprofessional, and Politics

Business Outlook

Pros

Pick your own breaks, the actual work is easy

Cons

Certain teams get better treatment than others, the only way to move up is to play their game of favorites and office politics. People who have been there a short time and mess things up always get promoted when they rub elbows with the right people while the people who are good at their job get reprimanded for not doing enough. Management also loves to say negative things about the techs to other techs. So you will always hear how management is not satisfied with you from other techs months before they say directly to you.

Pros

Used to have a lot of good things such as feeling like a startup, only having to come in-office two days of the week, fun company events, fun work culture. All of those things are now gone, they sucked the life out of this company.

Cons

- Constant rounds of layoffs, if you're left after a round there is no plan in place for what team to move you to or what to work on - Disorganized, getting rid of important people vital tot he company - Mandatory coming into the office, even though it is mostly empty and you join all your meetings on calls anyway - Dishonest senior management and leaders, feels like they are hiding things about the company from you - Company culture has turned sour, very anxious and depressing vibe when walking into the office
