Great corporate culture—except for the twice-yearly purges
Sr Manager Software Engineering • Current Employee
McLean, Virginia, United States
January 4, 2025
Pros: It's a mutually supportive corporate culture. It's a big company with a lot of complexity and inter-team dependencies, so you find yourself constantly asking questions and seeking answers.
This is invariably well and helpfully received.
Also, it's a company that takes diversity, inclusion, and belonging seriously.
Cons: The twice-yearly Performance Management rituals, in which we work to satisfy attrition targets by putting 10-15% of employees (depending on job level) on PIPs based on stack ranking—not necessarily on truly poor performance—are a huge drain on morale, especially for people leaders.
