Too slow and for fast people

Product marketing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food, free time. Happy people playing in the games room. Respectful in general. No layoffs so perfect for immigrants. Everyone has own offices that people love. Smart people.

Cons

Promotions based on tenure than performance. Perfect for retirement. Lower salaries in a not-so-cheap Boston suburb. New college grads love the place and then quit within 3 years.

Worst company To work (Bangalore office only). Please don't join!

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None actually. Anyone seeking a job here can also get a better ( more relevent, better paying and better prospects) job in other places.

Cons

They hire people from IITs and give them substandard pay and make them do tech support jobs. They hire with false promises and false hope. Once you enter the company in a tech support role, you're screwed! There are a lot of low level politics that happen in the company. Growth is near zero.

Great company, mostly bad/lazy managers

Quality engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing benefits and perks. It's mostly unheard of to get these kinds of perks. Having worked in both support and business departments I can say they are completely different cultures. You are free to come in whenever you want and leave whenever you want if you are in a non-support role.

Cons

Most employees are very lazy and leave for the day way too early. Many managers don't seem to care about their team. Some have no clue what their employees are doing/not doing. Compensation is not really based on performance, but rather meeting sometimes strange company metrics/goals. It is always hard to make improvements as management thinks you don't like current environment and you are against everything they say.
