Dynamic work environment but not very friendly for senior+ devs
Dynamic work environment but not very friendly for senior+ devs
Alibaba has a very big scope of business, and there are tons of opportunities inside the firm. Employees are busy with countless exciting projects, and many of them indeed made huge successes. For people who are willing to fully devote their time and energy to their work, this is a great place to achieve their potential.
Tremendous pressure for senior+ engineers, especially for IC. I'd rather say it directly: if you are pursuing engineering, not management, then this should be your last choice.
