Micromanagement

Pros

Benefits are good. Good compensation when compared to industry standards

Cons

If you want to be a slave, join PayPal. Pure micromanagement. Hire and fire policy. No job security. No time given for washroom breaks too. Each and every second of your actions are monitored. Stay away from this organisation

Pros

- Good work/life balance - Ability to work with new technologies (i.e. React and GraphQL) - San Jose campus is beautiful, a very pleasant place to walk around and show up to on a daily basis - Expectations are reasonable (although almost TOO reasonable to the point of being lax)

Cons

- Depending on team, people aren’t always the friendliest - Lots and lots of bureaucracy and layers of middle management that make it extremely tough to navigate - Code and engineering standards are essentially non existent. No one cares about the quality of code you write as long as you ship the feature. Yearly reviews have nothing to do with your engineering ability, promotions are often given out to those who have stuck around long enough to make it their “turn”. - Internal tools often break and don’t work, staging and development environments are incredibly unstable, and a lot of productivity is lost just waiting for things to work properly.

Worst company ever

Pros

Good work life balance

Cons

The senior management in bangalore RnP team is the worst ever. Have hired cheap TLs from low standard companies with no good experience. They don't know how to lead team n Promotion is based on buttering and touching manager's feet. Good performance donot matter. Favorite employees are breaking rules but higher management saving them. Two high level managers are having love affair and treating good performance employees whom they dont like unfairly. CTC they assure u to be high but inhand it is too too less. Miss my previous company
