In spring 2015 review cycle, an engineer got promoted (from engineer to Sr. engineer) 2 weeks after being hired into ESG, while others have been slaving at ESG for years with no promotion. This engineer was hired by a Sr. Director as his direct report. This has NEVER happened at ESG: engineer reporting to a Sr. Director. Note that the other reports to this Sr. directors are directors and Principal engineers. Funny huh?

I agree with @F1oPuRI-2xkj
Of course not made up. PH is there for anybody to check and confirm.
Not made up. ESG has been a heaven for incompetent engineers.
Completely made up. Very sad.
Engineer is a plant from Juniper looking for back doors
Julie Foster, from ESG, should be fired, she has no technical skills, no integrity, only political skills
Check PH and see for yourself. The promotion incident is true and this Sr. engineer still reports to the Sr. Director along with 2 directors and 3 principals
The "story" about ESG promotions and excess of directors is not made up. Check PH and the promo email that went out 2 weeks ago.
Why do people make up stories in this site? It is stupid and sick. Let's stick to the facts so the site is not a waste of time.
ESG is a joke. Not sure why they are still around. November lay-off supposed to be a cost-cutting event, but ESG promoted 40+ people. Too many directors - too few direct reports. Case in point on 6th floor: 2 directors with 2 reports each. Seriously?
You made this up.
ESG engineers are joke. 95% of them are incompetent. Absolutely does not make any sense to keep ESG engineers while laying off other quality engineers - but this is happening in QC.
Is the new hire still reporting to the Sr. Director? Sometimes people are assigned to the department head temporarily. If he is not assigned to a Sr Staff an below by now, I would say there is something fishy happening.
Also sometimes people are hired at a too low of a title and the adjustment is made later but not that soon (not 2 weeks after but after the next review). Maybe he got a much better offer from another company right after he was hired at ESG and in order to keep him they bribed him with a higher title and pay.
