Pros
  • WFH
  • Total compensation is okay.
  • Great and talented colleagues.
Cons
  • Toxic culture brought from Microsoft and Meta.
  • APEX is designed to damage your mental health, and be prepared to be a part of a rat race.
  • Calibration processes are unfair (said from a "Meet Expectation" perspective).
  • Leadership doesn’t listen, and if you say something, be sure it will be used against you. Fear culture.
  • Every value is not true anymore.
Advice to Management

Before new leadership joined, the company cared about its employees. Now, no one is heard. Without people, every company will fail.
