Pros

Lots of dumb managers and low skill engineers, so it’s easy to stand out.

Cons

Bill claims to be located in San Jose, but isn’t. It’s located on the edge of Milpitas, where it routinely smells like sewage outside.

There are many managers who openly practice corrupt cronyism.

The average skill level of engineers I worked with was much lower than at other companies I’ve worked for. Most engineering managers I met and observed operate in self protection mode because they know they have a higher title than makes any logical sense given their actual skill set.

The majority of engineering managers at this place have no idea what their team even does and couldn’t do almost any of it themself.

The people who run HR are corrupt shills who do the bidding of particular bad managers who insulate themselves from exposure by screwing over the few good engineers who exist at bill who realize how bad they are.

Advice to Management

Listen to engineer feedback directly instead of ignoring them by filtering feedback through corrupt HR.
