Decent place to work, but watch out for politics and scapegoating
Decent place to work, but watch out for politics and scapegoating
Flex policies regarding working hours.
Good gym and great colleagues.
General exposure to technologies and somewhat decent processes.
Opportunities to move around.
Unreasonable schedules and no work-life balance. The company mission statement, "To change the way the world works, lives, plays and learns," sounds Orwellian. Almost meaningless pulse surveys. Good at scapegoating engineers while simultaneously taking credit for success. No vision from senior management (director and above) in many BUs.
Remove multiple layers of management.
Reduce too many processes.
Replace "hippocratic" pulse surveys and stop micromanaging senior engineers.

I completed two phone interviews. They asked basic questions, and nothing was too difficult. The interview mostly focused on past experience. It seemed a little impersonal, almost as if they were reading from a script.
