Engaged employer

Nice folks, limited delivery opportunity, little cult-like, some areas are a boys club. - Platform Engineer World Wide Technology Employee Review

Pros

There is a strongly engineered culture of inclusivity and saftey, which is pleasent if not a little too disarming for comfort (for me). Good pay and good spirits.

Cons

Things seem to be more about impression management & sales and marketing than actually delivering results under the hood. I've seen engineers promised platform engineering work and ride the bench for over a year, I've seen folks hired for one thing pushed into something completely unrelated. I've seen missed opportunities with brilliant small business owners on contract to deliver PE be pulled out of their own expertise and sent to meetings instead for six months, disrespected completely as an external entity. The hyper scale is killing what was once a great thing. Maybe if sales were rewarded after the job is done it wouldn't be this way but promises continue to be made that are just completely unrealistic, and it probably can't and won't last. The corporate training says verbatim 'we want you to die here' which is genuinely horrific and engineering talent you'd want to work with tends to go elsewhere. Hard to recommend if you're not a sales and marketing professional.

Pros

Great early years culture… Smart / Top Tier Talent and Capabilities

Cons

Lost what made them special… culture made obvious shift from “People are our Greatest Resource” to “We are a Numbers Driven Organization”… Think that corporate event closing comment changed around 2018/2019
