Financially down and hidden layoffs - Recensione dipendente - Financial Analyst presso Infoblox

Strong organization from top to bottom. The culture is a real differentiator, with collaboration clearly expected, encouraged, and supported across the business. Teams communicate well across functions, and leadership is transparent about priorities and direction. The company’s values show up in day-to-day decisions, not only in formal messaging. There is also a strong openness to new ideas and a supportive infrastructure that helps people do good work.

The company is very AI-driven, which can be a strength, but at times it feels pushed into too many processes whether or not it truly improves the work. There is a risk of moving so quickly toward AI-assisted creation that we lose some of the thinking, context, and craft behind the final output. Vibe coding and AI-enabled workflows can be helpful for speed, but when something needs to be adjusted later, the “why” behind earlier decisions is not always clear. A more balanced approach would help ensure AI supports the creative and problem-solving process rather than replacing the journey that leads to stronger work.

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...
