Great company to work for

Pros: Great benefits and the technology stack is 100% AWS.
Cons: None that I have come across so far.
2.0
Top-down management
Engineering Manager • Current Employee
August 26, 2023
Pros: Compensation is good.
Opportunity to grow and learn new technology.
Cons: Bosses who like to micromanage. Management talks down to employees and is very condescending. Leadership's goal seems to be focused on personal development. They are more focused on what will get them a promotion than on the development of those that report to them.
Unprofessional practices:
A Sr. Director played a prank on all managers below him, claiming there were associates complaining about management. While all the managers started to panic, the Sr. Director said that they should all cancel their Christmas vacation to deal with this situation. Eventually, he revealed that it was all a joke, but the damage had been done, as managers spoke out about what they perceived could be the problem. Those not in the know that it was a joke were clearly stressed and anxious and did not find it funny.
