Too much politics
Senior Graphics Programmer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
January 11, 2021
Pros: I appreciate my colleagues. It's a lot of friendly people working here.
Cons: It's too much politics. For the past few years, it's been more focused on management and less focused on tech. Soon there will be more project managers than programmers.
Don't get me wrong, but it's starting to feel like other big companies where you spend more time in meetings than coding.
