Great company, but the increasingly 'Indian' work culture may be its undoing
Staff Engineer • Former Employee
San Diego, California, United States
April 1, 2015
Pros: Generous to employees.
Great corporate policies.
Mindful of ethics.
Lots of freedom for employees.
Overall, the official corporate stance, 'Innovate, Execute & Partner,' is awesome.
Cons: Excessive email volume.
Multi-tasking is encouraged (and seems to be an excuse for not planning).
More than 80% of Saturdays turn out to be working days, mostly to please and service Asian customers.
Too much work-load. Frequent sparse work-load stretched over 12-hour days.
Most jobs require 24-hour support, with a 12-hour shift handled from India, which necessitates untimely conference calls for tracking.
All the cons stem from a largely Indian mindset, temperament, and work culture.
