Smart Team, Silos & Politics
Smart Team, Silos & Politics
Smart people, breadth of work across a large product portfolio. A great company for managers.
Too many silos, too much politics, and a very low salary for old-timers.
Quitting for a couple of years, going to a competitor, and coming back for a higher salary works very well here.
No scope for ICs to grow.
Bring salary of old-timers on par with industry.

Engineer
The initial screening was based on typical generic questions and an explanation of my experience. I didn't pass it, though, as my experience didn't meet the years required for the position. The process was fair.

My interview was many years ago. It included 7 rounds: headhunter, HR, hiring manager, peers, director, and two colleagues from other teams that I would work with. There were no particular IQ questions, but rather job-related ones. My hiring manager

It was basically a resume walkthrough, and that was it. He asked me what types of positions/jobs I was interested in. He also spent a lot of the time talking about what he did. It was really short.
