Pros
  • Good employee services such as shuttle services, and food allowances.
  • Constantly reviewing the market value of employees and adjusting their compensation.
Cons
  • They have No Increased Policy (No Salary Increase) / Performance Improvement Plan. Each group lead will rate their employees from highest to lowest, and the two lowest aka NI/PIP and Meets Most Expectation have no chance of getting promoted the following year no matter what you do.

  • Office politics are surreal.

  • Over workload, we lose 4 employees for 2 years they never once replaced any of them.

  • Some groups/teams won't allow engineers to render overtime because they're tied to their group budget, even if you're swamped with work to do.

  • PTO takes forever to get approval, and Managers can cancel the approved PTO anytime. You have to file a footprint every time to have your back pay, so your pay slip looks awful. If you live paycheck to paycheck well good luck on your recurring bills.

  • Managers have no boundaries even during off-office hours.
