competitive compensation but awful vacation policy

Principal software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

lots of cool projects on which to work with top tier customers and competitive compensation plans composed of base salary, stock (RSUs), annual bonus, and ESPP.

Cons

Vacation policy is awful. There is no accrued entitled vacation. Instead employees can take time off when their schedule allows with manager approval. But the schedules of highly utilized employees never have open time (and who would feel secure if they weren't utilized), how can you predict your schedule in order to plan vacations months in advance, and the system is extremely biased upon ones manager's philosophy of employees down-time. Also, although their are classes offered on advancement and an advancement road map, I've been in the exact same position for several years even though my reviews have always been excellent.

Pros

The compensation is very good. The engineers and lower management are truly excellent. You will work on something good and exciting.

Cons

Baseband business closure is a good example of why the company will have to change or face extinction. No strategic leadership from CEO or CTO and top management. They are not interested in investing and building organically. Cannot steer a technology. Cannot build engineering organization. They will just acquire next company and put sales targets on them. Then leave the integration mess to managers and excellent engineers bail them out of trouble. There is no real R&D effort, only on the books. R&D is considered what engineering teams come up with themselves. Zero accountability at executive level for repeated failures and missteps in baseband business. Inner circle power dominates business decisions. For these reasons other businesses will start failing over time and when key people leave.
