Smart Team, Long Hours
Smart Team, Long Hours
Lots of really smart peers. Challenging work. Good (not great) pay. Excellent benefits. Great products to work on. A chance to really make a visible impact on people's lives.
Long hours. Poor onboarding. Sink or swim philosophy. Excessive intramural secrecy inhibits effective collaboration. Rushed schedules. Explosive growth of the workforce.
Improve on-boarding.
Buying lots of small companies leads to fragmentation, not integration.
Promote tele-commuting. It is impossible to buy a home in the Bay Area on current wages.
Excessive secrecy eviscerates the entire point of having people co-located.
