      Unusual culture, very different from other silicon valley companies

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      close to Bart and Embardero

      Cons

      The corp culture in AD is very unique and very different from other silicon valley companies, which may be related to the fact that most of the leaders/managers don't have education backgrounds in United States. If you are not from the similar background, you will find it very hard to fit into.

      Some great people, but little cross-departmental cooperation; bad managers stay and stay

      Senior level, non-management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fantastic product with unbelievable growth potential - Super smart people at every level - Decent free food and drinks available at all times; weekly free breakfast and lunch; regular special events

      Cons

      - Supposed core value of transparency, but good people disappear with no explanation - Frequent re-orgs cause confusion about roles and workload - A few managers truly don't "get" the value of their best workers. Some of the highest achievers I know are bummed out every day. Some are looking around for a place where they'll be appreciated (or have already left) - "Silo" mentality leads to lack of consistent messaging, duplication of efforts

      Not a cool/cloud or has any culture company

      Senior web developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Working hours: I usually come to office before 10 am and leave around 5 pm (the office is usually empty in the morning and after 5pm, besides finance team) - Good salary - Interviewing process was efficient in the last year

      Cons

      - Talent: Not high hiring bar - Technology: It's not a cloud company when you have barely 1 (maybe 1.5) releases a year and most of the customers are on-prem. Probably better for young developers to explore more innovative working environments - Culture: The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leaser is willing to tolerate... and believe me there were @#$% people in the organization who were backed up by management

      We're sorry to hear that you feel this way towards our company. Our HR and Office Management team works very hard to ensure that our office culture remains at its best, and our Recruiting team screens candidates multiple times not only for culture fit but also for team fit. Our engineering interviews consist of a panel of 4-8 interviewers who talk, test and discuss expectations with potential candidates. After the interview, the panel syncs up to discuss whether or not the candidate would be a positive addition to the team, and we make an offer based on a group decision. We value transparency, and managers are more than happy to discuss any of your concerns!
