Horrible culture where managers and directors promote favoritism
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
July 25, 2018
Pros: Can't think of any pros.
Cons: Worst experience in my professional journey. People on the team are ill-treated. Senior management operates from Foster City, so they are not aware of how directors and managers are treating their subordinates. Managers never appreciate hard work. Forget having one-on-one meetings with your manager. A director's favorite person is appointed the manager, even though they are not fit to be a manager. Good technical people are not always good managers. Stay away from the Front End team in Austin.
