The management earlier used to be very supportive. They would treat each employee and their problem individually. Management used to be very supportive.

Dislikes

Current management is very bad, they are not at all employee friendly, and it doesn't feel like a product company culture anymore. Few of the recent managers who have joined the organization is on a mission to ruin the culture. They payscale is also not very good. and thus this makes it no longer a good place to work

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
