Pros
  • Relaxed work culture
  • Good benefits
Cons
  • Low compensations. I would say you will end up making 20-30k less than the market.

  • Pathetic Promotion Process. Employees loud and clear shared their opinions through various mediums, union speeches, and one-on-one meetings, but leadership refuses to listen. If your manager is ready, why do opinions from other managers in the group matter in the decision? You as an employee never get an opportunity to work with other teams, so how is that fair? Because of bad leadership, union forming is inevitable.

  • Technologies from the stone age and never get any upgrades.

  • If you are an H1B immigrant like me, I would suggest continuing to look somewhere else. Once you are in, exit is difficult. You will end up working in a lower role, no matter if you have 10+ years of experience.

Advice to Management

You can arrange 100 town halls and try to spread out the message against the union, but actions speak louder than words.

Your actions are resulting in stopping employee growth and discouraging the atmosphere. No matter if you hire a CTO from FB, nothing matters if you continuously ignore what your employees are saying.

Just like the content of a newspaper, their leadership is biased.
