Inept management forces you to work twice as hard for half the results.

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent salary and benefits if you don't factor in the forced overtime. Nice new campus but engineering cubes are tiny (6x6 feet) with half-height walls and no privacy. Close to shopping & restaurants.

Cons

Inept, nepotistic managers. They hire their relatives, friends, people they went to school with and give them the best jobs, lion share of promotions/salary increases and bonuses. Hard work gets you nowhere. Mgmt is very secretive. You will be the last to know when anything changes. Mgrs spin a story about inclusiveness but it's all lies. Corporate part of the company is bloated and overcompensated. There are literally directors/sr. directors with just one person reporting into them. Legacy of Greg Reyes stock option scandal still haunts the company. Company is in decline. Many good engineers are leaving.

Lacking in leadership, particularly in marketing.

Pros

New office building, promotes a healthy lifestyle and work-life balance.

Cons

The executive leadership, particularly in marketing, prevents the company from growth. It is very difficult for the employees to be caught in the middle of senior management turf battles.
