I recently joined a big tech company. It was a long term project and something quite new to me as I switched career and was working in a different context. There are pros and cons, but it's a bit of a disappointment.
I've got the impression very quickly that absolutely nobody cares about me in this company and that employees mostly don't love what they do. Specifically
- There's a high turn-over
- Everybody is focused on their performance, compensation and on improving evaluation metrics
- Right after joining, I found the form explaining how to resign. Extremely easy.
- People do get fired: including a skilled, friendly, colleague of mine (didn't meet expectations for two semesters).
- Management knows how to keep the pressure high (in a friendly manner)
- I can't like my project: there are too many things to do and broken things to fix, also no feeling of ownership, no incentives to refactor or redesign.
