Disgusting experience
Pros
Great co-workers, good pay, good locality, everyone is hardworking and lots to learn. Everyone has more things on their plate than they can carry...so work is never ending so should know how to take your time off before you get burnt out
Cons
Bureaucracy, the company doesn't care about the employees, we had a new manager to our group and he had a very bad track record, 8 engineers left his group in less than an year and also heard of a rumor that he asked one of his engineers for a 1:1 meeting at around 1:00am to make her take responsibility of his mistake. I had some very bitter experiences with him as well. He screwed up my focal and got fired due to mass lay offs. I appealed my layoff and also had many email exchanges with the HR but was of no use. It's very interesting that the management backs this manager who has a track record of losing about 10 engineers within one year. They treat every employee as a machine. No work life balance and too much politics. Focal is a joke..they just give good numbers for those who are in good looks of the manager. If you are not in good books of your manager just get transferred to other group or look for another position. They just scheduled a 1:1 and told that I am fired. They did not even let me come to my cubicle.
