It was good
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Japane, Japan
December 28, 2024
Pros: All good here, except office politics, which is bad.
Cons: Office politics is not good here, else it is good to join.
1.0
No growth, move slow, and very bad management
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Mateo, California, United States
May 30, 2018
Pros: The food and office are very nice.
Cons: A senior VP will micromanage a software engineer and get him fired, regardless of his performance and endorsements from managers or team leads.
Everything goes super slow. Develop, test, and deploy would take up to half a year, and the reason given is simply to be "safe."
