Supportive colleagues but leadership struggles and office politics
Pros
- Most of the engineers I worked with were supportive and show cased 1T1D - Fair base pay when compared with other similar companies. - Work/Life balance was not bad.
Cons
- Some leaders struggle with strategic thinking and lean heavily on micromanagement, with office politics often overshadowing merit-based decisions. - Leadership positions enjoy significantly more job security than individual contributors, largely independent of actual performance outcomes. - HR functions primarily as a leadership support resource rather than a neutral employee advocate. - Workforce reductions disproportionately impact smaller teams like QE, with cuts made regardless of individual performance, while underperformers in other groups are retained. - Research your specific team thoroughly before accepting an offer. Groups such as Platform and QE have faced notable leadership challenges that have meaningfully impacted the work environment and employee experience. Evaluate all options and consider as last option before committing.
