Software Engineer II • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
July 27, 2011
Pros: Good workplace resources. Several facilities are available (gym, basketball court, etc.).
Some very good projects to work on, with multiple environments and technologies to explore.
Cons: Management (not really top execs, but more pertaining to my org from Director level downwards) is not really adept at making important decisions quickly at crucial moments.
Evaluations are not really performance-based and often get bumped up based on the level of experience to support promotion. It does not really matter if you are performing great; if you are not experienced enough within the company, you will have to wait for a good rating.
