Pros

The work-from-home policy is great.

Cons

Since the appointment of Rajeev Rajan as the new CTO a couple of years ago, the company has faced deep structural changes. With the redundancy of many managers, most teams doubled or tripled their size, and some managers are now unable to focus on their direct reports' career growth. Also, there has been a deep focus on improving productivity in general (good in principle), which has led to impossible deadlines being set on projects (bad implementation). This has led to poor evaluations when employees cannot meet the unrealistic goals set for them.

These problems have been raised to leadership many times, but they insist that everything is fine, and everyone else living the problems day by day is mistaken. Lots of people have left or been invited to leave due to these new policies.

Advice to Management

Follow the company values, for real.
