Neutral OutlookNo CEO Opinion
Pros
  • Nice office with good views
  • Pretty good work-life balance
  • Decent pay
Cons
  • No clear track for success or moving up the ladder.
  • Performance reviews and promotions seem to be very subjective and not very quantifiable.
  • Much of the leadership is ancient and has been at the company for decades, so not much room for growth and no true desire to innovate.
  • Very outdated and proprietary tech stack.
  • Using internal tools and the terminal daily is a pain.
  • Pay/perks are a tier below the other big tech companies.
  • Very much of a corporate and finance vibe in 731 Lex.
Advice to Management

Make your performance evaluation criteria less arbitrary/subjective and more transparent and quantifiable.
