Used to Be a Great Place, Now Feels Like Working in Chaos - Senior Software Engineer Infoblox Employee Review

- Culture: they have lots of fun events, and also focus on giveback events which is really nice to see - Focus on growth: my manager seems open to giving me opportunities to learn and develop. - People: everyone is so nice and helpful, if you ever have any questions people are ready to answer or point you in the right direction - Hybrid: appreciate that my position is hybrid (2 days onsite) so gives me flexibility!

This leads to rushed decisions, technical debt, and unnecessary stress for engineers. - Employees are severely overworked. Burnout is normalized. Many teammates feel pressured to work excessive hours out of fear for their job security, which creates a tense and unhealthy work culture. The on-call schedule is brutal and poorly managed.

Being a “yes person” seems to matter more than actually supporting or developing your team. - They try to convince you AI won't take over your job but constantly demands you to use AI for every aspect of your job...
