REMOTE was a lie

Pros

You can be mediocre and look good in comparison. By putting in effort you can get some impressive things done. The campus is pretty and legit makes you feel like you are in a special place. On site gym and health center saves you time

Cons

tech dept is 60% Indian and you will have culture shock as well as language and cultural difficulties for a good 1-3 months until you adjust. This means there are some ugly undertones especially in anonymous comments from closet racists. Forced back to office in a strict every other week schedule, but there are not enough desks or parking spaces, the desk has 10 year outdated monitors and filthy chairs, all to sit on a zoom meeting anyways. Office schedule is strict, undertones of bonus tied to adherence, suggestions to take PTO only on unscheduled weeks. Forced people out or to move near an office who were hired remote. In office food options are forced to be low fat low carb low salt low taste and leaving campus takes too long, so plan to pack a lunch but not have fridge space to hold it.

Decetful to Employees

Pros

They have Good Benefits currently

Cons

-Grew to fast -Two many levels of management -Wastes investors money on real estate, snacks, and too many phone employees that only work 2 hours a day but are paid for 8. Yet over work non phone roles and pay them less. - Give remote requirements but behind the scenes create rules that employees don’t know when it comes to year end ratings. Penalizing people who use their PTO on their in office days but then rules say it’s not a penalty.

Pros

If you are on a work visa or an H1B applicant than this is the place for you! You can enjoy having brand new ping pong tables and crappy food in the mess hall, just do t expect things like a desk to work at when you are in the office or a compensation package that approaches the median for your job role

Cons

Management is getting uppity about people coming into the office because Abby Johnson doesn’t want to admit that the Pandora’s box they opened by forcing us to work remote for 2 years has permanently changed the way people look at software work. They’d rather force us back into our cramped offices to protect their real estate interests than to admit that it’s objectively a worse way to work. This is compounded by the fact that most development teams are spread out over two continents for cost saving measures
