The acquired start-ups have cool cultures, a very bottom-up style, and lots of great middle management people. They also offer good work-life balance and benefits.
Upper management seems disconnected from middle management and below.
Some hostile cultures exist in certain organizations in the company.
Work values and company culture are inconsistent.
Pay is low and outdated, but HR and compensation don't agree and refuse to use updated market research data.
We've lost so many good engineers.
Upper management is not great at addressing questions and concerns either.
It's not clear how diversity and inclusion is handled.
The topic comes up a lot, but when recruiting, it's not clear how pipelines can improve diversity.
Do more than just listen to concerns. Take action. Glint surveys don't matter much if actions are not taken to address concerns.
It took me two months to meet the team one by one. It started with resume screening. There were stages for ML system design, coding, and the hiring manager interview. The profile was rejected without providing any technical feedback.
The interview process includes: * An HR screening * A hiring manager discussion * One coding interview * One system design interview * A director-level cultural fit interview to assess alignment and teamwork.
I had three interviews. The first was with the internal recruiter, the second with the team lead, and the last one was with the team. All of them appeared to go very well. I felt a rapport with the team lead and with the team.
