Difficult to find people passionate about tech
Difficult to find people passionate about tech
- Internal transfers are a piece of cake.
- It pays well.
- The hiring bar is low, so getting in is easy.
- There's too much to learn about corporate drama and how to survive in the corporate environment.
- The company is, as a whole, thriving.
- Managers delegate managerial work to SDEs.
- Managers keep changing, so satisfaction of having a good manager is temporary.
- Leadership preaches business (of course). To stand out, SDEs tend to do the same, showing rather minimal interest in technical growth.
- Skills picked are mostly not industry transferable since a lot of internal tools are used.
- Front-end work is looked down upon.
- Reward employees with more, like other big techs, if you expect them to die for work.
- Start giving tech a lot more importance.
- Start recognizing front-end work as a piece of engineering; other companies did it more than a decade ago.
