Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write about your experience as a Software Engineer. It's unfortunate that you feel that the opportunity to grow is limited. If you haven't shared this with your HR manager yet, then we hope that we can encourage you to do so, so that the possibilities can be looked into. Either way, your comments are noted: our management is also reading all Glassdoor reviews and is listening. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Pros

Caring for complete people internally and world ecosystem. Focus on making lives better with purposeful impact worldwide. Changes happening as around the world but continue to see push to promote from within.

Cons

Many levels of processes, however after working at a company where the processes were bypassed causing further delays down the line. I see and understand the purpose.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
