Vantaggi
There really are no Pros to working here.
Svantaggi
The managers are dishonest, manipulative, self-centered, uncaring and unhelpful. The low-level managers are morons with very little technical skills, and that only gets worse as you go up the chain of command. They don’t listen to people with real skills, so their decisions are impetuous, and mainly based on office politics, personal gain, or spite. The engineers, for lack of real skills, will often try to make their peers look bad, in order to make themselves look good. Employees often back-stab each other, and this kind of behavior is not only condoned by the managers, but actually encouraged. Managers often have to scapegoat an employee to cover their own ineptitude. This review is mainly in reference to the San Mateo office, but the culture of corruption is spread throughout the entire organization. Practically every employee, in every department, supports this corruption for either personal gain or self-preservation. The company’s stated core values (Open and honest, Accountable, Inclusive and collaborative,…) would be a joke, except that it’s pathetic how hypocritical the employees are.
