Genius is the safest part of the company
I mean if you need a job you should take it, esp if it is your only offer. But if you tell us the level and comp tht would be great
What is the compensation? Hourly pay? Benefits?
Don't do it. They layoff people all the time regardless of skill or loyalty or how you are performing.
Stay away from this company if you want to stay healthy. No security of any sort, you will be always in the firing line....
@bf I’ll be in product!
@OP depends on the department. Most are being off shored. Some need short term bursts and you’ll be out after.
What group are you set to join?
I'd like to add that while it's probably the safest product to work on in terms of the current rounds of layoffs, they're also training software engineers in India on Genius (at least according to a software engineer I've spoken with). This makes it a bit difficult to gauge the long-term job security, especially since layoffs are the favorite quick fix at Global. I'd recommend keeping that in mind before making a decision.
Genius is like the only GP product that's probably the safest right now. You'll be fine
@OP any advice?
