Innovation has declined, and politics has increased
Chief Software Engineer • Former Employee
Foster City, California, United States
June 15, 2009
Pros: Salary and benefits. Globally recognized brand. There are still some devoted and knowledgeable people, but they are disappearing fast, along with morale from the people who are still there.
Cons: Inflexible and unforgiving management cultivates an environment of fear rather than creative problem resolution and innovative thinking.
Promotions are not aligned with knowledge, skill sets, and experience.
Doers used to be recognized and rewarded in the old days, but talkers are recognized and rewarded in the present day.
There is no longer a focus on customer satisfaction, technology innovation, or employee engagement or development.
