Appeal is fading fast

Pros

Met some really great people with this being a fun and young work environment. Location is also pretty good.

Cons

Unfortunately the appeal isn't as great as the experience. They grew too fast without any sort of structure in place. Managers don't have experience and there's no guidance and direction for your job. Sometimes the expectations are much higher than what is realistically doable and unfortunately most people have way too much on their plate to focus on doing a good job! Hope this company can get some sort of structure or management training programs before they crash and burn. If you're reading this and thinking about applying, I would wait a while for the growing pains to work themselves out. There's a good possibility you'll be frustrated with the job/company quickly once you start.

Pros

good stock, nice set of engineers. the engineers are the best. they do quick visa transfers to get the engineers quickly. they can pay market rate thats all. recruiters are very good and treat people nicely.

Cons

worst management in mobile. under qualified and less knowledgeable and political management in mobile team that only waits to get job done from senior employees. Once your work is done they terminate you. don't touch this company with a 10 foot pole. highly political; you only survive if you are underpaid.

Pros

Office location, employee discount, you learn a lot and are given a ton of responsibilities in a short period of time, company seems to care about social issues, employees get paid time off to vote

Cons

No work life balance. Leadership has no empathy. The review cycles create a toxic environment. Most people are overworked and underpaid. They hire ivy league MBA straight to senior manager roles with little work and seemingly no management experience while they make it extra hard for managers to get promoted internally. Most people managers have no prior people management experience; combined with having no empathy and soft skills to manage teams, they contribute to the toxic culture
