- Some of the managers: It depends on the team. You can be lucky and work with some of the best managers you have ever worked with, our you can end up in a team with managers that (seriously) need to do better.
Some of them have the experience to be managers, but not the soft skills needed for the role. If they get better at this, the employee experience would be way better.
- Priorities: Priorities are some days clear and some days not. It's a fast-paced company, and there are a lot of things going on inside (Cisco's acquisition, new big customers, new features to release, customers-specific requirements...). Trying to keep all of this up is hard, and it has an impact when defining the priorities because things are constantly changing.
This is a big problem in the work-life balance and it also demotivates people seeing how some of the projects they were committed to never end.
- The "ish" in Transparency: Some of the biggest decisions made by the company were not shared as they should have had. The CEO addressed this problem later on and that was greatly appreciated.
These cons are the main reason why this company is good but can be better. I would say the rating could be a 4/5, but the company is open to feedback and changes, and hopefully willing to deal with these problems.
