- Salary is not competitive
- Raises are consistent but small
- Can feel a bit "corporate" at times.
- They would not let me listen to spotify while I worked
- Management was ok with working us till late before a release, but would complain about "long coffee breaks."
- Manager micromanaged....a lot
- May be team specific, but manager did not like cross team collaboration and did not support it
- Team didn't have enough resources for scope of work
- No room for vertical growth (aka, promotions)
- Horizontal movement opportunities available, but difficult
- Has job security, which is great! But results in a lot of "checked out" people who've been there for over 20 years
- Lack of opportunity for vertical growth results in people just "checking out." But as a result, work environment is chill, not cut throat.
- No perks
- The entire company gets one bonus a year regardless of salary...which is like $100, $90 after taxes.... Merry Christmas!
- Building M, where the developers work, get preferential treatment. Lounge rooms, sofas, pretty colors, newest coffee machines.... I think all of the photos on glassdoor are from M. The rest of us work in drab fishbowls, and the facilities were built in the 80s or something.
Also, I think the photo of everyone playing foosball is....misleading. Where is that table...? Did they bring it in for the photo shoot? Ever since I've seen that photo I've been on a quest to find it. Never have.
