Pluspunten
- Was able to work mostly remote (was still nagged by upper management about coming in)
Minpunten
- on my team specifically, turnover was high. We basically halved the number of engineers over the course of two years without replacing them. - you have to actively fight for realistic deadlines that you will be crunched over. You give an estimate of 8 weeks, management asks for 4, then you fight just to get 5 weeks, while feeling crunched the whole time - when an employee quit, no efforts were made to replace said employee. when asked if the schedule would be adjusted as a result, it seldom was. If the schedule was to be modified, it was often asked by management to pull the schedule in even more - unlimited PTO process required you to basically apply for it if you took more than 2 days off at a time. You needed to explain how you wouldn't let the schedule slip if you took time off. This basically means there's obstacles in the way for PTO, unless you just delivered something big after a long crunch. PTO felt like it had to be scheduled around your projects and not around the employee's needs. -management was really insistent on trying to get people to meet in person in order to foster collaboration without realizing that the biggest issue regarding that was that most people were too busy to collaborate on projects outside of their own. - "we care about the environment" while strongly encouraging people to work in person and commute. I feel like most values this company communicated were simply lip service. - lack of diversity. Young talent was seldom hired on my team. You tend to get people who very much think the same and are from similar backgrounds. -for all the issues it has, compensation really isn't competitive.
