Pros

The 'big corp' vibe was barely noticeable, probably because of the good manager in Prague and a great team.

Cons

I wasn't a fan of the evaluation and upskilling policies; they just weren't a good fit for me. Though, to be fair, that’s likely something all American companies struggle with.

onboarding is terrible, no help at all

Pros

I can't see anything now

Cons

The onboarding process is terrible, numerous authentication process and one went wrong your computer got locked up. There's a lot of "self-service" you have to do including activate your own badge. Redwood Shore campus has real IT people and badging officer, but if you're in Santa Clara campus, there's nothing, and the reception is always empty. Terrible, worst onboarding and working experience. Santa Clara campus cafeteria is horrible, food is bad and expensive, which is so different from Redwood Shore campus. The salary is really minimum comparing to the current companies in Bay Area.
