Vantaggi

good tools to work (lap top, not mobile that was terrible), flexible time

Svantaggi

1) no space to ideas, no autonomy, the managers are very operational 2) no empowerment 3) no merit implemented with performance evaluation 4) the "calibration" in the performance evaluation appraisal is a jocke, since it does not work at all 5) the HR VP LatAm never has time to talk to managers, only to talk to VP's or other Execs. As a HR person this professional is a good Controller, no more than that! 6) HR area is tvery disorganized, and the Directors and VP`s are hired based on their university background rather than in their experience and behaviors. So, in HR they have a lot of MBA`s guys without any experience, good technical and theorical background but anything more....big mistake 7) the Ethical Line simply does not work. If you call for that line, you will be fire couple days later. It happens a lot in Brazil and South America.

Vantaggi

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Svantaggi

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
