Imagination Technologies reviews

Pay is considerably lower than what other competitors offer. Competent engineers leave the company one after another just to be replaced with less competent new hires. Promotions get often conveniently frozen or delayed, even if you manage to get yours accepted through the blurry requirements. Pressure to set goals for personal development just to abandon them 2 months later due to strict time lines and bad project management. Constant task time tracking and need for reporting increases stress levels and de motivates people. Constant changes in team hierarchy without visible results in the longterm. Last actual perk,flexible remote working, is being revoked and people will need to be 3 days per week in the office, despite them being on online meetings all day with colleagues from all over the world and not working with people from the same office as them.

Promotions and parachutes at the top, hiring freezes and scraps at the bottom. The company has regressed into a Series A startup burning wads of cash each year, typically this type of company would have passionate founders and a flat hierarchy who are knowledgeable in the industry, instead we have 10 layers, most of it middle management, trying to figure out why it's losing money, demanding constant status reporting then wondering why real work hasn't progressed. Each iteration of executives get their payouts and further accelerate the companies decline to insolvency, engineers can expect stat redundancy at best. Every engineering department is now held together by a handful of unappreciated people doing their best to offset the endless tech debt of unprofessional or inexperienced coworkers. Pay is so bad many workers are unavailable doing childcare for themselves just to make ends meet and if you pay attention others can go weeks with little contributions.
