Good Perks, Terrible Leadership
Software Developer • Former Employee
March 6, 2019
Pros: Good benefits and work-life balance
Cons: Terrible leadership and organization. Five re-orgs in five years.
"Bro-y" leadership hires friends as management, and no work gets done.
Team members who actually do work are incredibly demoralized.
It's said that you can switch teams or roles if you're interested, but this is not true. You have to get all sorts of permission. It's the corporate red tape.
