A bit of a mess
A bit of a mess
The technical team at Milpitas is great and are highly motivated. Compensation is ok. Work life balance is pretty good.
“Unlimited” PTO is a joke here. Upper management does not believe the team deserves PTO and has capped it to a non-industry-standard amount. Upper/middle management in general tends to get in the way of progress and iteration due to their lack of technical competency and trust.
The most corporate and bureaucratic environment I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve worked at multiple Fortune 500 companies.
Ask yourselves whether you really want this to succeed. If the answer is yes, what are you contributing to the team?
