Netskope Work Experiences

High work loading, weak performance review

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Taipei, Taipei City, Taiwan

Pros: Working from home and teammates are friendly.

Cons: Employees often work overtime. The job assignments are unreasonable, and the performance reviews are based solely on the manager’s opinion, making them highly subjective. There is also a serious blame culture, which is unhealthy for the organization. I remember the CEO once said he wanted to build a company that feels like home. It is not true.
