Exciting for a short time but very turbulent management and turnover creating negative vibes within co-workers.

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good benefits. Semi-formal culture. Smart co-workers.

Cons

Bad work-life balance. Saw a lot of layoffs among people working for over 10 years and that uncertainty looms like dark clouds over a majority of co-workers as they approach the 10 year mark. That is probably responsible for a lot of negativity within co-workers. This lowers the morale among the new employees and dampens the overall work spirit.

Good to start your career, but don't get stuck there

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Its all about looks here. Everything in the company is shiny and bright. -Perks used to be very good but most of them have been removed

Cons

-Almost no growth potential. -Impossible to get into management unless you are blessed by folks who have been there for over 20 years. -No work life balance. You will have to take support calls after midnight, about 2-3 times a week. -The skills you acquire here are of very little use outside. -Join only if you are very political and want to work there more than 2 decades.
