Amazing place, but some inexperienced managers
You will learn to become better at design and attention to detail.
Lots of very smart coworkers.
Excellent age diversity, which brings very different perspectives.
Senior leadership is very admirable.
Caffe Macs probably serves the best salad in California.
Long hours.
Compensation/benefits are not competitive (despite what they may claim).
Some skills may not be transferable.
May have to deal with technical debt.
Management hires fewer people than needed, which contributes to technical debt issues.
(1) Provide better training to new managers, particularly those from different cultural backgrounds.
(2) Make the long hours worth it.
(3) Improve the experience for new employees. In particular, make sure they are assigned projects that help them ramp up.
