Pluspunten

Excellent benefits and recognition for working for a top employer; exposure to very leading-edge projects

Minpunten

Very restricted in what you can actually do; every step you take is extremely political and territories defended; high 'churn' rate in management. Process is to introduce new leader every two years, sink or swim, then add another new manager 1.5 years in. If the old boss can't take it, they end up reporting to the new boss. I know of four instances of this in my department, and four more in a parallel department.

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

Minpunten

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pluspunten

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Minpunten

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
