- 1.0Bureaucracy, Politics, Slow PaceSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 12, 2022Pros: Work-life balance Team events Vibe and thrive allowance Education expensesCons: Bureaucratic to get anything done. Excessive politics, especially in marketing. Slow moving. Share options are low/unfair taxation. The growth ladder is vague. Lots of nepotism/promoting their own.
- 2.0Different to beforeSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSydney, New South Wales, AustraliaOctober 14, 2024Pros: People, friends, niceness, free food in the office, clubs (but only about 4 times a month).Cons: It's not the same employee-centered company as before. They don't care about your salary. You have overtime crunch for six months at a time. The high-up leadership says you need to get XYZ done, and you can't say no. All of our teams and surrounding teams are sacrificing our normal lives, relationships, and sleep. No feedback gets heard. You're lucky if you get into one of the few carefree teams.
