Pros
  • Great name to put on your resume. Any job would hire you after having to work there for some time.
  • Potential to be one of the top-tier tech companies in the world.
  • Great teammates who are always there to teach and educate others.
  • Ability to learn and keep up-to-date with cutting-edge technology.
  • Working with the best and brightest, except management.
Cons
  • No work/life balance. All work gets piled up. The more you do, the more you are rewarded with extra work with no extra compensation.

  • Management are cold and doesn't recognize the hard work we put in, so long as it gets done.

  • Expectations are unrealistic from management, as we are expected to do the job of other roles.

  • Confused about our position as they are not structured and it is unorganized.

  • Zero encouragement from mid or direct management, and we are always shot down, making it look like we are always the problem.

Advice to Management

Overall, it is a great company, and it seems to be going in the right direction. However, the only roadblock we encounter is having mid-management in the way. They are always delegating extra, unnecessary work or comments to us when we're already so busy with our own work.

It seems that they are not there to help us at all, except to slow us down by pushing us to push others in other departments when it is not even our role to do so. This should be their job.

Often, we are always the problem to them when situations arise on their end, and they seem to show that they have power. Productivity would be much better by eliminating the mid-management positions or replacing them with experienced ones coming from other top-tier companies.
