Yahoo's not living on the edge
The turnover rate has been high; they've lost lots of people during recent years. However, they also bring in lots of people at the same time. A lot of my co-workers around have started in less than a year, and I personally know couple guys who're planning to leave within a year or so.... Read more

Great employer - for lawyers, MBA, and business types
Well, before I start saying what I don't like about Microsoft, I'd give the fair amount of credit to the company. The pay and benefits at Microsoft is superb, and the Seattle is actually pretty great in terms of weather, traffic, and environment in general. So I shouldn't complain... Read more

A uptight culture compared to other tech companies
Microsoft has had a very tense, serious culture since its founding. When I say uptight, I don't mean that you have to wear a shirt to go to work. The developers usually just wear jeans, shirts and sneakers to work. But the managers are the no-nonsense types. They hold meetings and make sure... Read more

A great brand value on resume
I recommend Oracle as a good employer to work for. For sure in such a large company there are a lot of layers of management, and it is not easy if you're looking for quick promotion. Seniority plays a part in your assessment. But it definitely adds value to my career. The brand recognition... Read more

The pay at EA is good, but beware when they have meetings ABOUT you
The pay is great, as are the benefits. EA is one of the top 10 biggest software companies, and Tiburon is just a part of that. However, the company really do not value their workers enough. They view engineers here as easily replaced and expendable. EA is notorious for its long hours, a lot of... Read more

eBay - a company on the way down
eBay's work culture is pretty old-fashioned. People are promoted based on who they know, rather than on merit or ability. I found this quite frustrating while working at eBay. If you are young, talented, and ambitious, management will not recognize your potential, and you'll quickly... Read more

The culture at Cisco is superb, and make sure you like to work hard
I think here at Cisco we really have a strong culture, people really care about networking - both in a computer sense and a social sense. People are encouraged to communicate and collaborate, even though some of the employees are in remote offices. We enjoy a good deal of freedom, as many... Read more

eBay too obessed with metrics
This is not a place with passion for technology. The culture here is to meet the number every quarter. There a lot metrics the management measure you on, but those items do not necessarily reflect the reality because everybody tries to play around with the numbers to make them look more brighter....

Reasons to leave Google
Google is not a hot start-up that it used to be. When you look at the blogs, people now get excited about facebook or twitter. There is not anymore the pioneering spirit and enthusiasm that you see in a startup. In short, Google is getting old.
Google now has over 20,000 employees. At such a... Read more
