Good Pay, Bad Leadership
Good Pay, Bad Leadership
Pay is good. Work-life balance is usually okay. The PTO policy, at least in CA, is also pretty good. I've been here 3 years, and I can take up to 6 weeks.
Bad leadership. Leadership often makes poor choices with the direction of products and doesn't push back on customers. It puts all of the burden on the actual engineers.
Don't bite off more than you can chew.
