Avantages

Many options for lunch at Tysons mall. Need to wrte someting to meet word requirement.

Inconvénients

As software engineer, I dont report to a engineering manager but to product owner who is a non technical person. prduct owner is responsible for my quarterly reviews where he rates my ability to do my job (which he does not understand) and my bonus and promotion are dependent on this person. Me and othr software enginers I knw feel insulted most of time! We all looking to leave.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Employee engagement and happiness are top priorities that we are actively working on. We are committed to improving leadership communication across the organization. We know that we need to make some changes to build better collaboration between our people and our teams, and are in the process to do just that with enhancement to certain processes we use to run our business. As a matrixed organization, we have a cross-section of technical and business focused Product Owners, as well as technical Mangers deployed across our teams. Product Owners have responsibility for articulating why we’re investing in specific areas and the jobs to be done. Our technical managers lead teams through the “how” or implementation as well as responsible for helping our software engineers with their career growth and development. Our employees are some of the most talented in the industry and your advice to management will not go unnoticed. Our leadership team cares deeply about how our employees feel and the frustration that you express through this review is something that we take very seriously. Although not every change will happen overnight or have an impact overnight, as a team, we will make great strides to positively impact the work environment. Thank you for your post - caring enough to provide this feedback is an important catalyst to our continued improvement.

Avantages

You will learn ALOT here and if you can stomach the culture you can get promoted quickly or move teams with little friction. Above market rate benefits that start Day 1 Generally speaking good camaraderie amongst the worker ranks I’ve held multiple roles and have appreciated the opportunities to travel internationally which was life changing The product has a little bit of a learning curve but it genuinely is something special once it’s up and running I felt that towards the end of my tenure my pay was exemplary although I really had to earn it

Inconvénients

Wowwwww where to begin… Well it’s a top down organisation but also a market laggard. Given our position relative to our competitors this regime of leadership is responsible for missing the moment in Cloud, BI and AI. Middle management and upper management alike don’t have a clue and it’s definitely a soap opera of leadership and empire or cult building. Not a great feeling of purpose when everything you do internally as well as with customers is overshadowed by Bitcoin. Dwindling customer base. We’re really only making money by replacing ironically technologies older than us (Cognos,BOBJ) or moving existing customers to our managed cloud The community is totally dead especially internationally. Minimal on the ground experts at strategy and a very loose and underfunded partner program Product conceptually is great but struggles to differentiate from hyperscalers and modern cloud data platforms on value. Leadership can definitely get a little preachy touting merits or metrics that are pretty vain in the big picture Specifically in the last 3 years gaslighting has been the norm for management. Everything here feels performative and doing your best to do your work without upstaging or upsetting your manager. The RSU distribution definitely feels like serfdom. The employees at the bottom get a single digit or if you’re a heretic you get double digit number of RSUs, but it definitely does not seem fair that the benefits of the Bitcoin strategy rolled to the top, at least when the asset is up
