Flexibility No More & Losing Hard Workers

Pros

Camaraderie between department is a pro, and the hybrid policy was a pro but that has quickly been stripped from workers. Company garden & cafeteria, sometimes.

Cons

Out of thin air, CEO decides for everything to go back to ‘pre Covid times’. Meaning no more hybrid work and no more remote work. This has been more of an incentive to lose very good talent and get folks to leave because of the ‘no lay off’ policy. Quite frankly, this rule is reducing morale drastically, and people are quitting which is probably what he wants to reduce costs. CEO does not value workers, and the “lean but not mean” culture is quickly disintegrating. Every decision is made from the CEO, which is just unreasonable. Upper management is like a child and the CEO is the parent and every one wants to be the ‘golden child’. It is a disgrace how some departments are not treated fairly and others get to pick and choose what policies they abide by. Pay is also below average and career progression is at a low.

Pros

The cafeteria. Free meals during Diwali! Great engineers.

Cons

The management team never experiences turnover. The place is a retirement home for mediocre managers. The upper echelon of managers have created an exclusive club for themselves, while talented people below them are boxed out of opportunities where they could make a real difference

Pros

- Non-discriminatory, non-toxic work place. - Decent work/life balance. - No-lay-off policy.

Cons

- Poor remote/hybrid policies. - Direction from upper management can be difficult to interpret and shift suddenly. - Very little turnover means there is not always room for upward growth. - Very few new-hires, especially in lower levels.

Dead end, few opportunities for growth

Pros

Great people in my department Very good work life balance Benefits are pretty good

Cons

No promotions, pay was decent when I started but hasn't kept up with inflation at all. New hires and even backfills are rare. Feels like a career dead end since the work is mostly on legacy tech. Upper management is mercurial, making us waste time on doomed projects. People/culture outside my department are often difficult to work with.

Pros

On site food, good management, opportunities for personal development. Benefits are good.

Cons

CEO is actively hostile to workers, demanding a return-to-office and not showing any notable improvements to the company as a result. Company used to offer flexibility for occasional work-from-home opportunities, but has revoked that flexibility. CEO is trying to squeeze out employees due to a refusal to institute layoffs, and is losing good employees. Little to no work life balance.
