Good benefits, but company culture and values are lacking

Engineering Manager • Former Employee

San Jose, California, United States

January 4, 2014

Pros: Good benefits. If you're in the right team, I could see it being an okay place to be. Things work out better for those who keep their heads down, do their job, and don't rock the boat.

Cons: Bullying not only tolerated but encouraged. A culture of fear, with annual layoffs every November. I witnessed the poor treatment of a once outstanding coworker who became ill (illness is seen as weakness?). She was laid off so they didn't have to deal with her anymore. Management has no empathy or tolerance for weakness. Complaining about wrongdoing, including the poor treatment of women, is dealt with by laying off those that speak up.
