Stepping Stone

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Layoffs are rare - Benefits are good - Remote work possible

Cons

- Pay is low - Management lacks professionalism, too much focus on their personal goals and little focus on shared goals - Tech stack is behind and corporate policies make it very difficult to keep it up to date - Very little application of software architecture knowledge. You're more likely to see an archaic approach suited to the manager's comfort than a more modern approach suited to the application requirements - rampant nepotism in hiring and promotion. There is no objective clear path for career advancement

Terrible Management

Senior security engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The engineers were nice. Other than that, for a period of time, you could get gelatos from the cafeteria every other Tuesday from 2:00PM to 2:15PM.

Cons

The managers, three of which they ran through during my one year there, were not qualified to be security engineering managers. Very much a waterfall mentality. No real growth mindset, or appropriate ways of growing a team. For security engineering and research, getting industry training was awful and almost non-existent
