Smart People, Tight Deadlines
Smart People, Tight Deadlines
Decent comp. A good place to learn. An ambitious company with a clear vision, sound financials, and lots of really smart people, most of whom are surprisingly humble.
The company's high ambitions often result in a high workload and tight deadlines. Sometimes product requirements are unclear, but engineers still need to make it happen. This can be very frustrating. It is often unclear where the work or the requirements originated; thus, understanding the "why" can be a challenge.
When tasking a department with an undertaking, understand how much effort or resource will be required from other departments and help re-prioritize.
