Solid company with some problems
Solid company with some problems
Excellent people, variety of projects, lots of growth and money, and learning opportunities.
Most teams have a rotating 24-hour on-call duty, which I found intrusive. There were lots of pages that needed attention, and the primary and secondary rotations together lasted two weeks.
A lot of the work was similar to Operations, so I found the problems I was solving were not interesting.
Also, it turned out that my role involved a lot of cross-team politics. I did not find this out until I started the job and looked at the "eng levels" description.
Be more up-front about the cons above. And when someone has to leave, ask them for their thoughts on how to improve, so you don't have to read it in Glassdoor!
