Total breakdown of trust. Employees are being monitored like crazy. There is such emphasis on documenting and monitoring your work that it makes it harder to get the actual work done. Managers are rude and find a way to spin things into writing that only reflects a way to make them looking good. There were new policies put into place meant to speed up the time that a project takes and make the tasks more better documented to make people accountable, which could have been taken as a good improvement alone but it has now gone far past that. Every minute of your day you can be questioned on. You cannot say anything without being question. You are micromanaged every time of the day. If you question any of it you will have retaliation against you with more strictness. HR and upper management does not understand the problem. They set up meetings where people cannot be telling the truth. They do not hear the truth when you try to give it to them on the side. Even with "open door policy" you are being told that you cannot speak to others. Also office is too small. It may now be safety violation hazard so many people are here some of the days. With the over crowding and the noise you can not be doing your work well. The internet keeps being down. They said they would move to a bigger office but many months has gone by and there are no plans. You used to be able to work from home few days or half day so not have to deal with this so much but that is not being allowed any more.

You need to park at the Pruneyard to walk to work (15-20 mins). -The company is 87% Indian and they claim they're promoting diversity. Everyone who isn't Indian lasts about 6-8 months at best. -The two good people left in leadership have their hands tied as the CEO controls every idea, every meeting and has his own agenda. -There is no employee retention as they are hoping to cost cut further due to Sales not meeting their numbers and they haven't been on target for two+ quarters. -There are no cubes; 8 people share one long table together. If you like open environments, you might enjoy this layout). -On your first day, IT won't have a computer ready for you. On the slight off chance it is ready, you will not have a mouse, keyboard or monitor. India sets up your computer remotely. -It's still privately held after 17 years. I should have seen this as a warning sign...
