Still a Great Company, But Room for Improvement
Still a Great Company, But Room for Improvement
Nice place to work, but so are a lot of other places. The compensation is amazing. The initial job offers are almost impossible to turn down. Most employees are highly motivated about delivering new, top quality products to the customers. If you have the fortune to get on the right product team you really care about, your drive and commitment will help shape the solution from day one. You can focus on your job with minimum administrative distractions. Huge bonus in being able to spend the majority of your day writing quality code, less the distractions of administrative paperwork, irrelevant meetings, etc.
Mobility in the company seems slow to average.
Long hours in return for little merit and recognition.
Perhaps this is due to a glut of middle management in the food chain?
This may result in a lot of managerial red tape in the project approval process.
Team creativity can sometimes stagnate as a result.
Less bureaucracy and more commitment to fostering communications, teamwork, and developing quality projects, perhaps?
