Pros
  • Free food
  • Lots of fun events on campus
  • Trying to revive the culture and morale
  • A few teams are really doing good work
  • The CEO is putting relentless efforts to revive the company
Cons
  • Middle management is clueless.
  • Middle management talks more and delivers less.
  • Quarterly performance ratings (QPR) are a farce.
  • Constantly changing leadership also keeps changing product roadmaps and vision, making individual goals ambiguous.
  • Some staff in management are not technically sound and nurture favoritism to get things done their way.
  • Team morale is at rock bottom.
  • Work-life balance is in the toss.
Advice to Management
  • Please get rid of QPR; it's being wrongly used and brings no value.
