1) Expect 12+ hours working non stop to be normal
- These guys would scrutiny the heck out of you if you are even slightly underutilize or on bench hours. But no one gives a damn if you overwork, experiencing burnout, or complain about your overloaded workload, even worst that is heavily expected of you. Direct manager and senior manager who's supposed to manage and help when you raise concerns? Forget that, nothing will ever happen. All talk but no show. Project managers (CDD, AD, MPC) they dont protect you, instead they'll feed you to client demands. They dont care about your workload, especially the one's from US timezone, they dont respect your working hours, if you are working for in APAC shift, they act like you'll be working the whole day and night including their hours.
2) Employee health, satisfaction, happiness and overall state are thrown out the window
- 2X used to be a great place to work, employees are well taken care and compensated. All this is being thrown away to chase higher profit. The company orientation is changing, its no longer following its core principles, instead they're becoming the typical tech mogul modern slavery type of company. Getting promoted is nearly impossible now. New employees aren't even getting new devices, instead recycled old laptops from former employees. There is no annual dinner anymore after 2024. Employees are expected to work 24/7.
3) Lack of leadership support
- Project managers, COE managers, and especially board managers are not really useful. The total number of "leaders" have significantly the past 2-3 years but the leadership quality is declining. With all this new supposed brilliant mind being hired yet they still manage to consistently make LOL decisions. Instead of taking care of employee wellbeing, how bout going on company acquisition spree? Yup that's what exactly they been doing recently. I guess there goes the bonus allocation. We used to have a monthly vibe check for all employee, they removed it probably because of high number of complains or lack of action taken from all the feedbacks shared.
There's so much more i cant write them all down! Read all other reviews to know more. Its sad to see how 2X has become.
