Meaningful impact with work life balance - werkgeversreview Principal Software Engineer bij Parallel Domain

PD feels more mature than its 4 years. The company has a clear technical roadmap, invests in good operations, and hires brilliant people to deliver. Everyone is collaborative and there is no ego. Our customers are big name companies and they continue to grow. I love our mission and impact in the world. It is a great place to accelerate your career since so much new work needs ownership and scope is growing. Your work matters and you aren't just a cog in a big company machine.

Coworkers and good window into seeing how AI works for different industries

Insane pivots in direction and a total lack of connection and understanding between management and the rest of the company. Unrealistic expectations and blame put in the wrong places. Stagnant positions for growth due to poor prioritization, no time to learn and get mentorship, and steadily decreasing diversity in leadership roles.
