Loads of opportunities to develop
Loads of opportunities to develop
High hiring bar = super-smart colleagues.
Broad range of projects across disparate domains, allowing for new challenges without moving company.
No ivory towers: everyone shares their knowledge, and anyone can challenge anyone else's proposals regardless of level or experience.
Plenty of career opportunities: role shifts encouraged & SDE progression does not mean management (although I chose to!).
Competitive salary, benefits & RSUs.
No one will stop you taking things on: if you don't learn to say "no", you can easily get swamped.
Extremely wide grades mean promotions are infrequent (it may take 10+ years to get promoted once you've reached 5+ years' experience) and very high-effort.
Fix the grading structure and promotions system.
