PIP Factory

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Most engineers I worked with were great and super collaborative. - (It would be a pro if you don't work here)

Cons

- Burn out 24/7, mental health took a toll. Personal life even was heavily impacted because of how the culture and stack ranking is. - Leadership blows, lots of dishonest people who act like they like you, they want to support you, but then they back-stab you. - Everyone gets pipped, no one is safe anymore, doesn't matter how well you do, it's all politics - Toxic culture - The "Bar" doesn't exist, and for some reason it keeps going up and up somehow. I basically did work which would be considered my role if I were promoted. - You won't get promoted unless you enjoy kissing butt.

Nightmare Review Process, Finally Axed Entire Job Family

Manager, agile delivery lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, good salary while I worked there, nice work campus if you care about that (I would have preferred to work from home)

Cons

Extremely data-obsessed company and analyst centered; if you come up as any kind of analyst at all there, you'll have a clear career and promotion path and clear performance objectives. If you come in as something else, best of luck to you defining a promotion path - and you likely will have to defend your right for your job to even exist, at every. single. performance review. (why should that be an employee's job, you're asking? hey, great question, and I don't know either)

Culture is terrible and no WLB

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to different tech stacks and cloud services.

Cons

Performance management and stack ranking has gotten worse post covid. Work culture is terrible and there is no collaboration between coworkers due to forced pip percentage ( 7-15% every year) Indian managers are clueless and don't know how to be a people leader. Will throw you under the bus without second thoughts. Very top down politics, isn't worth the mental stress.
