You trade your soul for company RSUs

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- RSUs - That's it - Nothing else, just RSUs

Cons

- Bad Culture. No culture at all. - Very very eager to lay anyone off. Want to acquire and just kill the company. - Compulsory 5 days WFO. - Attendance tracked, infact everything tracked. Every key stroke. - No concept for Work Life Balance - Feels like you're working in a labor camp in WW2 times. - All employer friendly policies, no employee friendly policies.

Corporate Hunger games

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous RSUs each quarter Team goals for sales commission, predictable SIP Management is not afraid to tell the customer no, and go into a legal battle with them

Cons

Not a technology company, there's no innovation, lots of divesting in R&D and business units. They are a license renewals and procurement company. They only talk to customers every 3 or 5 years when the ELA comes up. They hold customers hostage. Constantly laying people off, thousands at a time and not sure how they get away with not announcing or reporting to US regulators like other corporations have to. Creates a super toxic environment inside the company and they destroy every company they acquire. People who stay there long term have sold their soul for the RSU pay day. They are heavily medicated if they believe they are actually helping a customer or contributing to innovation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great salary because of the equity

Cons

Management is very bad, I and others had issues with sexism, racism, you know name it. Little to no meritocracy and a lot of petty office politics The work-life balance is also awful and there's no hybrid/remote work except for rare exceptions for management, one of many double standards. No culture; the company is very cheap when it comes to ERGs or even basic amenities
