The people on your team are usually great people. You bond over happy hour about how silly the company is.
In my time there, I only received one pay raise despite receiving high reviews from my managers. My first manager warned me that they don't offer raises and gave me a higher salary compared to my skill level (fresh from college). Even knowing the salary that my manager had in mind, they tried to low-ball me by 20k.
Invest in your employees. If you don't pay high performers competitively, they will use the company as a stepping stone for other opportunities.
Tech managers should have technical backgrounds so that they can share their expertise with newer employees.
Most terrible interview experience I ever had. I was told I was getting an offer and then received an email that the role was closed. I followed up for weeks (4 months total for the entire process).
The process was good. The interviewers asked difficult questions, but they were fair and representative of the position. Overall, it was difficult but fair. No other feedback otherwise. They came to the university for interviews.
No camera on from the employer's side, and this is disrespectful. Questions were heretical and not related to my resume at all. The work offered was contract, with no insurance or other benefits.
