Meta reviews

- Long hours - No clear path for advancement. I'd been told I'd get promoted if I achieved xyz. I achieved xyz with flying colors, and still no advancement. Despite being a top performer in my group, I was not promoted once in nearly 4 years. - Great PTO plan, but difficult to get time off. Often you're made to feel unpatriotic to the company if you request a whole week off. One manager actually told his team they could only take long weekends. - The Mach 5 pace is exhilarating, but maintaining that pace 24/7 takes a toll. Several people I know developed heart issues from the constant stress. - Terrible middle management. Very out of touch with their teams, only looking out for their career. - Questioning company policies or products is frowned upon. They want you to drink the KoolAid, versus have a constructive discussion. - In my group, promotions were given to unqualified people simply because they were buddies with the manager. It was very much an old boys club. - Too many meetings and interviews. I spent a solid 7 hours a week in company/team meetings, and another 3 hours a week in interviews. That doesn't sound too terrible, until you realize the massive workload given to each employee.

The baseline expectations are high so this is not the kind of place for someone who does not love their work.
