Too many politics and no mobility, but a balanced lifestyle
Too many politics and no mobility, but a balanced lifestyle
- Good work-life balance.
- Generally pretty flexible on the scope of projects.
- Nice perks in the office.
Flat orgs sound cool, but in reality, it just means way more disorganization because there are not enough middle managers or team leads to disseminate information clearly. This means it's not a surprise to see duplicate work.
There's very little upward mobility. I had colleagues who stayed in the same role for 3+ years.
The business side and engineering side are not aligned. The business side managers care more about hitting short-term quarterly goals, which means patchy development and the tech stack being messy.
You've got to get business and engineering on the same page. Too much childish fighting about who gets ownership of what means collaborations don't feel like collaborations at all.

The behavioral interview was good. The interviewer asked past project-related questions and went into depth about the technical aspects related to those projects. They also inquired about general proficiency with coding and modeling.

I applied online. A recruiter reached out to me (it was the best recruitment experience ever, really). They scheduled a phone call that seemed like a fit check, which quickly moved through my CV, a little bit about the team, and questions about me.
