Pros

Able to end work on time if you are not on any projects

Cons

Toxic department with one of the most toxic site leaders I’ve met in my work life. All employees are given a chance to give grading on Job Satisfaction. My team left our most honest opinion and was being called out by Site Leader as she was not satisfied with the score. Raised her voice during meeting and mentioned that she does not know what to do with our team anymore and even “threatened” us that in order to keep her survey score to the benchmark, must she let go of the entire team and hire a fresh new team so that her survey scores will be good? Is this the way leadership talks to their subordinates over here? No flexibility and hard to take leaves, feedback to HR that our off-in-lieus will be pre-planned by the managers moving forward and wanted to check if this is aligned with company’s policy. Got called out for this again, gave reasons that doesn’t even sound genuine. Mentioned that the reason why off-in-lieu’s are pre-planned is because when some of the specialists are serving notice, they are unable to clear their OIL. Even if so, why should the rest of us be dragged into this when we don’t even have any issues to the current leave planning where we get to plan our own OIL? Managers are supposed to help their -1 to fight for their best interests isn’t it? But seems like the site leader/managers are only keen to keep their figures (KPI) good at the dispense of their subordinates’ happiness. No sense of belonging, don’t even have team bonding sessions. Please explain how to feel inclusive.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
