Hellish Place to Work

Pros

Free food and a nice space to work in, that's about it.

Cons

The sales function is as dysfunctional as any place I have ever worked! The lack of vision and amount of micromanagement is astounding. The senior leadership team is amazingly out of touch with what drives a engagement and motives employees to perform at high levels.

Micromanaged plus ignorant/incompetent manager

Anonymous employee

Pros

Just the free food and office!!! Because the rest is just sales pitch. All other benefits is for the engineers and some other departments.

Cons

Gave 1 star for the free food. I took the job here because of the name TA has and the benefits. I regret my decision so much because the benefits TA offers are only for the engineers and every other department. In my department we are seriously micromanaged and we have the most ignorant manager one can ever have. He doesn't know anything, every time we ask him a question he tells us to ask someone else. He is just sitting there and looking at numbers and gets paid a lot of money. He doesn't know how to talk to people despite all the training TA supposedly offers to their managers. There is no work life balance. I felt so motivated when I started but they easily rub happiness off your face when you find out that everything your recruiter said was mostly a sales pitch. I never felt more unhappy at a company. I drag coming in everyday and honestly I can't wait to leave, this place, better to say my department is giving me depression. I just wish u had applied to a different department, I do not want to wait a year to move elsewhere.
