Good Culture, Less Flexibility

You will be hired because you are extremely strong in your skills. Management will make you feel less than adequate
Software Engineer • Current Employee
December 5, 2011
Pros: Great benefits, 401K matching, quarterly bonus, interesting technical work, and intelligent technical co-workers.
Cons: Extreme micromanaging, lots of processes to follow.
You have to work 'around' the meetings and the documentation. This means a very long day just to get your actual work done. No time for breaks or lunch; many people eat at their desks.
Always need to do better. I have witnessed people work so hard only to be told, "That is your job. Now do better than that." They want only superstars, but even if you are a superstar, you are not recognized for it. I think they strive on making you feel less than adequate so they can control you better.
No flexibility to work from home. Policy is 0-3 times a year with management approval only.
