Worst Company with hostile work environment

Pros

Maybe free lunch and dinner

Cons

Worked for over a year and the team I worked for, backstabbed me and I lost my job because of the evil team and immature and evil management and the corrupted HR. The manager was the worst and most unprofessional manager I have ever worked for. This is not a made-up story, the environment is extremely toxic, controlled by CN based people and too much politics and backstabbing. They expect you to work 12+ hours like a slave. There is absolutely no empathy, sympathy for the employees especially if you have family / kids. If the company feels like you will open the facts to the public or complain (saying the truth), they will throw you in a S..hole. They make your life so miserable that you have no other choice but to quit. They use the performance review technique to give you a poor performance score that puts you on a one-month probation which you either need to resign or they will fire you anyways. Don't fall for the name and fancy stuff you hear, this is not a place you want to work, you will regret your life.

Pros

You get to say you work in big tech.

Cons

There’s no such thing as work life balance here. You will work past 6 pm everyday and sometimes weekends. There’s no flexibility with work locations even with mandatory WFH. I would avoid at all costs. Leadership is extremely out of touch and VERY untransparent.

Do not work here

Pros

The pros of working here are that you own your work and can be as creative as possible. I love not being held in restraints when it comes to ideation and executing projects. I've made some great lifelong friends and connections here as well.

Cons

1. Impossible to get a raise or level change 2. Rigged performance structure with literal letter grades 3. Forced work culture (being kind and professional is not enough) they want you to suck up to people and give Disney World treatment 4. No opportunties to make more even if you go on another team you keep the same salary even if that role pays more 5. Forced to come to the office 3 days a week it will be 5 soon (mind you there is not enough seats) all the jobs can be done from home it's a way to control people
