Good Pay, But Work-life Balance Suffers
Good Pay, But Work-life Balance Suffers
Good starting salary.
Company pushes you to grow.
Teams are small, so on-call is manageable.
Work-life balance is an issue. An issue management pretends to care about.
Maternity/paternity benefits are next to none.
Year-over-year salary increases are so-so.
Don't cheap out on raises.
Have decent maternity/paternity benefits (see Google).
