It's a big company; it's what you make of it
It's a big company; it's what you make of it
The company really seems to care about employees. They offer a lot of perks for families and allow you to be really autonomous. They have a goal of being a tech company first and a bank second.
Middle management is not great. There is a lot of bureaucracy and unhealthy competition between tech teams.
There is a culture of siloed work where Product is in one silo, Engineering another, and Design another. It generally doesn't work and creates huge disparities in goals.
There is constant re-orging in the SF office, and it is difficult to hang on to good talent because middle management can't agree on a trajectory.
Stop re-orging.
Get rid of the promotion cycle thing (at least in the SF office) and for gods sake, get rid of the stack ranking.
