Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent culture and emphasis on work life balance results in motivated and happy employees. Colleagues were generally friendly and helpful. - Training provided as well as good knowledge transfer led to quicker on the job learning - Perks pretty good (ESPP), decent amount of events to energize employees and remind them that life isn't always about work.

Cons

- Career prospects may be limited somewhat. Full spectrum of roles may not be always available at specific offices. Recent restructuring/outsourcing of jobs can also trim opportunities to rotate/gain exposure. - Pay may be lower than market rate - Professional roles may still see moderate amounts of manual/administrative duties.

competitive compensation but awful vacation policy

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

lots of cool projects on which to work with top tier customers and competitive compensation plans composed of base salary, stock (RSUs), annual bonus, and ESPP.

Cons

Vacation policy is awful. There is no accrued entitled vacation. Instead employees can take time off when their schedule allows with manager approval. But the schedules of highly utilized employees never have open time (and who would feel secure if they weren't utilized), how can you predict your schedule in order to plan vacations months in advance, and the system is extremely biased upon ones manager's philosophy of employees down-time. Also, although their are classes offered on advancement and an advancement road map, I've been in the exact same position for several years even though my reviews have always been excellent.

Pros

Engineers are generally nice, and capable

Cons

Management has no vision, no accountability with the miserable failing of wireless baseband business, misstep after misstep, project killed one after another, no work and life balance, some teams were felt run by Indian mafias, back stabbing is new normal.
