Get what you need and go
Get what you need and go
• Prestigious company (FAANG) • Decent compensation compared to non-FAANG
- Bad Work-Life Balance
- Organizational shifts cause churn
- Oncall (nighttime pager)
- Below other FAANG compensation and doing over 2x the work
Focus on the long-term vision of your employees' well-being. When the average tenure of SDEs is roughly 2 years, maybe it's time to start considering "Employee Obsession" as an LP. The new LP "Strive to be Earth's Best Employer" sounds like a half-hearted attempt at cultural improvement.
Also, don't have your engineers do nighttime on-call. That burns us engineers out faster than anything. Dedicated offshore on-call is definitely the way to go instead.
