Smart Team, Bureaucratic Hell
Smart Team, Bureaucratic Hell
Lots of resources, amazing and very smart engineers, allowed to be passionate about your job.
Lots of bureaucracy. Your experience is completely dependent on who your manager is. There is nothing preventing managers from abusing their power. Very long hours of work. Company culture is very different in Seattle versus other offices.
Focus on other offices nationwide and make sure the company culture that is advertised to new hires is actually being implemented in the non-Seattle offices.
