Pros

- Hybrid for now but probably not much longer - Co-workers are mostly okay - HR seems to be on top of things since they got my first two reviews taken down and I’m having to write this for the third time…

Cons

- Pay is below market - Several individuals and esp. the top of finance leadership are egomaniacs - Sales hates us which makes daily life miserable - Random public lashings from leadership if they happen to be in a bad mood that day - Director+ in the finance org is awful. Some of them are strong technically but def not all. Some are straight trash and all are horrible people managers. The further up you go the worse it gets - Workload is unmanageable and everyone knows it but no one does anything to make it better. Other than having a WLB Committee that does absolutely nothing with zero power. Until we have the elusive “exit” that management has been talking about for the past 4 years the workload and understaffing won’t be getting any better - No one has any idea how to manage product refresh cycles even though we’ve done like half a dozen - Processes are horrible and juniors get blamed even though the leaders built most these processes

Pros

- Culture: they have lots of fun events, and also focus on giveback events which is really nice to see - Focus on growth: my manager seems open to giving me opportunities to learn and develop. - People: everyone is so nice and helpful, if you ever have any questions people are ready to answer or point you in the right direction - Hybrid: appreciate that my position is hybrid (2 days onsite) so gives me flexibility!

Cons

I haven't come across too many drawbacks, it is a global company so dealing with the time change when working through a problem can make the resolution longer.

We appreciate you sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that your time at Infoblox has been defined by a strong sense of culture, opportunities to learn, and colleagues who are ready to help. Knowing that those things have stood out to you so early on is especially meaningful. Thank you as well for calling out one of the practical challenges of working in a global business. Feedback like this gives us a better understanding of where the Bloxer experience is strong and where there may still be opportunities to make day-to-day collaboration easier. If you have suggestions to share, we encourage you to speak with your manager or the People Team directly.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you could work with amazing people - It's a fast growing company

Cons

- Heavily integrated with India and other parts of the world so the working hours are intense - They secretly had layoffs but refused to announce it. They say they are transparent but really, they just use it so everyone else is transparent - Engineering and Product Management lack clear direction and long-term vision. Priorities change constantly, often driven by the “flavor of the week,” which leaves teams scrambling and abandoning work before it’s finished or properly thought through. It creates an environment where no one knows what actually matters. - There is little to no effective project management. Everything is treated as urgent, regardless of scope or feasibility, with very little concern for doing things correctly or sustainably. This leads to rushed decisions, technical debt, and unnecessary stress for engineers. - Employees are severely overworked. Burnout is normalized. Many teammates feel pressured to work excessive hours out of fear for their job security, which creates a tense and unhealthy work culture. The on-call schedule is brutal and poorly managed. Issues are well known, but leadership shows little interest in fixing or improving the system, despite the ongoing toll it takes on employees. - People management is weak at best. Many managers are ineffective and treat their direct reports poorly, yet they are rewarded for being agreeable to upper management. Being a “yes person” seems to matter more than actually supporting or developing your team. - They try to convince you AI won't take over your job but constantly demands you to use AI for every aspect of your job...

Thank you for taking the time to share this perspective and for your decade of contributions to Infoblox. We are glad you were able to work with talented teammates and that you experienced the pace and growth of the business firsthand. We also hear the seriousness of the concerns you've described. While we cannot comment on specific personnel matters or internal decisions in a public forum, we take these themes seriously. Creating a healthier operating rhythm requires clear strategy, stable prioritization, realistic planning, improved resourcing, and leaders who are accountable for how work is delivered and how teams are supported. We are continuing to focus on strengthening our people leadership, improving cross team coordination, and making on call more sustainable. Thank you again for sharing candid feedback, and we wish you success in your next chapter.
