      Low pay, lots of pressure, sweatshop like environment

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Location, facilities, stock going up, free pop

      Cons

      Experience largely depends on the team. On my there were lots of pressure, overtime (even over night) is expected and implied. People are treated like slaves. Morale is very low, many members of the team H1Bs that have no choice but to shut up and work. Management does not seem to care about the work life balance of its employees.

      Very average

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Benefits, which you may not be fully able to use if working 14+ hours a day - Great health plan. - QCT is totally manager/lead dependent. If manager/lead is reasonable, strong and powerful, you can go places. If not, you will go nowhere, even if you work hard. - Exciting work.

      Cons

      - Some QCT teams have reversed pyramid structure. Number of Senior Staff Managers > Number of Staff Managers > Number of Senior Engineers > Number of Engineers. Hence lower levels in QCT, bear the brunt of work, because except for a few technically good mid level managers, most sit in meetings all day to increase their sphere of influence. - People can steal work and claim it their own. Advertise your work to more folks than your lead. - Some QCT managers, have no management skill. They have the title to just increase their influence. - Matrix structure for reviews. Find the most important senior player (manager, director etc) in the team and make him/her happy. Very political place. - Do not waste any time contacting HR, they do not care. They are there to make sure that no lawsuit or issues for the company.
