Constantly firefighting - Senior Engineer Tencent Employee Review

Good reputation, title and work culture above avg

Some departments lack profit and long-term insight

Prime Location: The office is situated in the heart of Playa Vista, which is an incredible area to work in. It’s walking distance to a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, gyms, and other essential amenities. Top-tier Talent: The best part about working here is the people. My colleagues are exceptionally professional and experts in their fields. It is a high-density environment for learning, and you’ll constantly find yourself challenged by brilliant minds. Modern Workspace: The office environment itself is modern, well-maintained, and provides a great atmosphere for focused work.

Technical Gap in Management: There is a noticeable disconnect between the leadership and the engineering/research teams. Management often lacks a deep understanding of the technical complexities involved in projects, which can lead to unrealistic expectations or misaligned priorities. Lack of Transparency: Communication from the top down is often opaque. Decision-making processes aren't always clear, and it can sometimes feel like teams are siloed from the broader strategic goals of the company.
