Pluspunten

- Some teams have a great direction and real goals. Sales, Editorial and the Facilities staff are among those. - People at the lower levels are generally good to work with but are usually hired straight out of school so it can be difficult to get top talent that can contribute at a higher level. - If you can carve out a niche, no one knows any better than you so you can learn on your own and drive your own success - Location is good

Minpunten

Don't trust your management in either engineering team, or C level execs for that matter: Disrespect - Lots of passive aggressive behavior in day-to-day - General acceptance of CEO yelling at you instead of having a conversation - Have been told by senior staff to straight out lie to other engineers about goals and timelines Poor Leadership - Management ignores their own failure and gets passive aggressive instead of resolving issues - Standard practices for the tech industry are ignored and deemed too "new" to try out ("heard of this new methodology called agile?" -from Eng VP in 2015 Sexual Harassment - Sexual harassment is accepted (multiple "he was just drunk" type excuses from management) - High ranking individuals that create harassment issues in the first place are allowed to lead "sexual harassment training" - Individuals that have had way more than 3 reported instances of initiating sexual harassment are still working here Poor Compensation - Compensation far below market - Women get paid less on average (on engineering team) - When trying to negotiate a raise, I was lied to and told that raises only happen every two years Get a therapist if you're going to work here.
