      Pros

      The engineering standards and compensation here are truly exceptional, setting a benchmark that stands well above many others in the industry. The company’s focus on public cloud security and governance is impressive, demonstrating a commitment to protecting customer data that surpasses the efforts of over 95% of other organizations utilizing cloud technologies. This dedication to best practices in security and robust governance frameworks highlights the company’s forward-thinking approach and its prioritization of excellence and safety for all stakeholders.

      Cons

      I’m grateful for the opportunities to work alongside talented colleagues in a diverse environment. However, I’ve observed some strategic choices that seem to be reshaping the organization. While it’s understandable that companies make decisions to adapt and remain competitive, I believe there could be a stronger emphasis on fostering a supportive culture that uplifts and retains the exceptional talent we have locally. In addition, maintaining an alignment with the company’s origins and principles could contribute positively to long-term success and the broader community. Investing in our local workforce and supporting a balanced global strategy may bring about benefits that resonate well with both employees and the company’s values.

      Pros

      The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

      Cons

      Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
