Horrible, mental pressure and what not
Horrible, mental pressure and what not
- Quarterly bonus depending on how good the quarterly sales were. They make it up for mediocre pay.
- Parking is good (not really a pro but I have seen other reviews, mentioning about parking issue. Anyone who worked here will know that parking is NOT an issue.)
- Decent stocks.
- Cafteria: It is bad. I don't think we should even call that a Cafteria. There is Water, bad coffee machine, utensils, vending machine that doesn't take Credit card and enough tables to sit.
- Politics: Welcome to Game of Thrones. I have seen/faced many situations where people in management roles have absolutely shown their power over others. It's a game of pointing mistakes.
- Work life balance: What's that?. You will have have enumerous late night calls and early morning meetings and yeah, they don't encourage work from home. Though you can sometimes work from home depending on your manager. People usually work over 10 hours a day and there is no appreciation for the work you put in as everyone else will be putting in more than 10 hours.
- Career growth: If you are a college graduate, stay away from it. I repeat, stay away from it. All the good experienced people have already left and the remaining ones are either looking for jobs or over burden and don't have enough time to train others. For experienced people, you will be thrown under the bus from first day. You will have good opportunities to learn but since you are over burden almost all the time, you won't hav enought time to step back and learn and be efficient.
- Coworkers: Mostly okay. Ocassionally you wll see frustrated employees, people with no work ethics, etc.,
- Resources/staff: Foster city is short in resources and people who are leaving the company are either being filled by College grads/Interns (cause they are paid less) or gets hired in Pune. Most of the work force is being transferred to Pune as it's cheap there. Good luck with that.
- HR: They exist.
- Reviews on Glassdoor: Some of the reviews on Glassdoor with 1 line Pro's and Con's are fake. I guess, someone's job at Qualys is to write them.
- If you have to survive here, then you have to suck up to someone.
- Don't think it would really matter as its all about making profit.
- Spend less money on lavish conferences/advertisements and more money hiring enough resources.
