Sacking employees every now and then and forcing employees to come to office during pandemic

R&d engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good stock option and moderate salary

Cons

1. They are laying off people every quarter. So no job security. 2. Management is forcing the employees to come to office during pandemic. Although work from home facility is there, still they are asking people to come to office. 3. Management is very rude and they don't believe in employee feedback.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits are ok compared to working for a competitor.

Cons

- Does not care about the welfare of it's employees, all about the bottom line so CEO can make $103 million in a year - Forcing employees back into the office when safety can not be guaranteed during COVID outbreak, no distancing and people walking around without masks. - CEO told employees to stop watching CNN - Will never support working remotely - Will suck the life out of you

No secure job when Broadcom acquires your working company

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay masters. Stocks benefit.

Cons

No job security. We hear rumours every quarters about Layoffs and all rumours come true. CA Technologies employees faced it a lot after acquisition. One day I suddenly got info about my layoff and same day is my last working day.
