Vindictive and bully management and team leads.

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some pockets run by nice people with normal WLB.

Cons

No WFH for a lot of teams. Management is comprised of lifers that have formed a clique together with some team leads. They are vindictive and bullies. Yelling and sarcasm in meetings. Subpar equipment. Old tech stacks with zero market value. This is a technologist elephant graveyard for the most part. Way less than average pay.

The company does not have fair performance evaluation criteria. Employee favoritism is an accepted fact of the company. Promotions are given based on the nationality. Not a good place to work for expats, some expats already left the company.
