Minpunten

Working here as a Software Engineer II has been one of the worst career decisions for me. The company is extremely process-heavy, where employees spend more time dealing with approvals, meetings, and management pressure than doing actual engineering work. Instead of enabling productivity, the culture creates unnecessary stress and frustration. One of the biggest issues is the management culture. Many leads and managers are quick to take credit for the work done by engineers while contributing very little themselves. Recognition is often driven by visibility and politics rather than real technical contribution or hard work. There is little appreciation for employees, and growth seems to depend more on pleasing management than actual performance. Micromanagement is common, and over time the environment becomes mentally exhausting and demotivating. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a healthy engineering culture, supportive leadership, or merit-based growth.

Pluspunten

Good work-life balance, decent benefits package, flexibility and control over one’s own schedule within reason. Majority of colleagues are fantastic to work with. Generally seems like they actually care about employees. Employee recognition is improving. For the role specifically, builds a lot of great soft skills that are transferable if there’s desire to move into other roles/depts.

Minpunten

Some aspects of benefits fall a bit short of what other large tech companies offer, but not terribly so. Putting a lot of emphasis on AI, which wouldn’t be a con if not for the uncertain landscape of job security and given some recent actions from other tech companies to fund their AI initiatives in favor of employee benefits. Promotions difficult to achieve at times even with proper performance. For this role, working with customers always has its difficulties and can sometimes feel like you’re the punching bag for things out of your control.
