- 1.0Good Pay, Clueless ManagementSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesMay 24, 2019Pros: Wages are good, decent 401k.Cons: Management seems a bit clueless, trying to make an iconic car company into a tech company using the wrong tech leadership.
- 2.0Depends on your team and managerSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesFebruary 10, 2019Pros: Great pay. Great benefits. Excellent vacation, 401k, and bonus.Cons: The biggest issue is management and leadership. Quality, first-line managers who genuinely care about their employees and their teams are hard to come by. Upper management is tone-deaf when it comes to understanding culture. Things like execs walking the cubes at 5:30 pm and checking to see who is still at work are ridiculous practices that should be abolished. Lots of horror stories of favoritism and lack of interest in career development from managers towards their employees.
