Epitome of Dysfunction

Pros

Nicely remodeled HQ campus. Hiring smart people. Former CEO stepped down in January. Social campaign makes it look like great place to work. Investment in technical training.

Cons

Unprofessional culture - Senior Executive(s)/Chairman are inappropriate in language and behavior on stage at company/family events and town halls. Naivety + arrogance at the top is killing the company. Constantly changing strategy, direction - drives continuous reorg and retrenchment. Culture of entrenched silos, politics, protectionism. Averse to change and risk, stuck in outdated thinking, silence new ideas . Top execs reward and promote long service, loyalty, and blind allegiance over competence; many smart and strong minded employees leave frustrated, or the organization pushes them out. Diversity and inclusion non-existent, and led by top exec behaviors; cannot be solved with an HR program or task force.

Pros

1. Great training and learning opportunities (Kubernetes, Python, Go) 2. Pay for performance has worked out in my case 3. Great people in the trenches are making things happen

Cons

1. Silos, silos everywhere :(. Lots of meetings but not lots of meaningful communication 2. Teams are (supposedly) agile but products are coming together as high stress, big-bang integration efforts at the end 3. Various HR roll-outs have been rough ("unlimited" vacation, new performance review process)

We're sorry your experience hasn't been better. Our leadership team and employees worldwide are incredibly active on our new communications platform, Yammer. If you haven't already, we encourage you to check out the information sharing on there and even suggest ways of improving it and other communications platform to maybe remedy the perception of silos.
