Microsoft is a choice of stability over Career Growth
The company has consistently delivered strong numbers year after year (despite lots of people complain about Vista, the sales numbers of the new OS is stronger than ever). Microsoft has a very stable development cycle and process. Burnouts, long hours and frustrations over the team's... Read more

A company that can't sell or market
We have great, high-end, unique proprietary technology, but we just can't sell.
Companies like Dell out-sell us in the smaller companies by a huge margin. As an engineer, I don't know the details of the sales and marketing side of things, but I think the general lack of direction... Read more

Worked for Yahoo for 5 years, and got laid off
I can offer that I worked at Yahoo for 5 years and it was a great experience, although even though I always had 100% positive reviews and received multiple salary increases, I was ultimately layed off along with my entire profitable department. Even though my department made a lot of cash profit,... Read more

Dell is an awesome place to work
Dell is not a place that you can be lazy and earn a fat pay check every month. People work very hard here and work/life balance isn't great. What I love about Dell is that the company plays fair. They recognize people who deliver result and reward them with the things they deserve. It knows... 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....

No respect at Amazon
Software engineers are not treated well. At the bottom of the huge hierarchy at Amazon, engineers have to work long hours to catch ridiculous deadlines and do everything including operation and user support. Regardless of the workload we already have, managers must say yes to all requests from... Read more
