No work-life balance. Too much competition within teams
No work-life balance. Too much competition within teams
Work remotely Good compensation Good parental leave
Every six months, there is a performance review process. The engineers are compared to each other, and the bottom 5% is fired.
This creates extreme competition within the team, and nobody is really keen to help each other. It's all about showing impact.
People are working 10+ hours daily with the fear of being fired.
The company measures the number of PRs and lines of code per individual. This creates meaningless changes, and a lot of time is wasted in this process.
