Good on resume, move quick!
- FAANG company, so it looks extremely good on a resume.
- Compensation until the cliff was great. Now that stock acts more like a blue-chip stock without constant increases, it's not as great but still good.
Stack ranking, including mandatory firing (URA), leads to a toxic culture where everyone is looking for "impact" projects. If you don't, you are on the chopping block for FOCUS and PIP.
Congrats if you make it through the marathon interview process! Some orgs on the TAM side are great, but keep looking even after being hired.
Stack ranking and URA are both toxic, and creativity is stifled. Studies have proven this over and over again. Use other methodologies for performance management.
