Competitive pay, poor benefits, and disorganized leadership
Competitive pay, poor benefits, and disorganized leadership
- It's a big tech company.
- You're gonna be paid well.
- There's a lot of internal tooling to speed up developer velocity.
Leadership is totally disorganized and touts self-contradicting "leadership principles." Communication is sparse during layoffs and RTO announcements. There are constant re-orgs and high attrition rates.
Benefits are not good. There are very few sick days and personal days, and not much vacation time. Several holidays aren't observed that other companies might give time off for. 401k matching is lackluster.
On-call schedules can get hectic.

It went well, with half an hour for leadership principles and the other half an hour for coding and system design. It’s a great experience overall. System design, they expect more clarity.
