      Career limbo

      Senior director engineering
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay for hours worked is quite good

      Cons

      Complete mess internally. Questionable hiring practices from mandated DEI quotas HR can sometimes hire someone into your team without you knowing, people hiring personal friends, spouses, family members has put the company into a toxic situation. People with skills and knowledge are harder to come by each year, seriously following a similar path to Intel. These people are in it for the long haul and always paranoid and defensive and trying to claim success but never put themselves out in front and take the risks. Most won't get an opportunity like this again to squander and many know the layoff is coming sooner or later. A lot have made it to positions line managing technical staff and the hiring bar drops as they don't want to be at risk of being discovered as useless. Company is overvalued so reward will heavily reduce in the future. Right now it's the honeymoon phase.

      Poor management and presenteeism

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Brilliant colleagues to work with

      Cons

      - Very strict in-office requirements. It's strange to not allow remote working when we're in a global team working in different locations already. - Some managers tend to overstep their boundaries and micro-manage on minor things, but lose sight on the bigger picture. - No clear path of career progression. Most managers are disinterested in helping their line reports progress. - Poor facilities including tea/coffee & food provision. Prices are way too high for what it is.

      Good compensation

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The retribution is very solid. Since IPO the share package is very competitive and it makes hard to actually leave.

      Cons

      The culture has shifted. In the last few years the management shifted, embracing a more US style. I feel in order to fit in you need to become very corporate (if it makes sense). Also it feels you need to play a lot of politics in order even get the chance to show you deserve a promotion.
