Interesting job, nice people, limited growth opportunity
Interesting job, nice people, limited growth opportunity
Very interesting set of problems to work on. Most teams are very nice and easy to talk to, mostly good company culture. Decent compensation. A lot of very talented people to work with.
Only a select few get promotions beyond Senior Software Engineer.
Once you want to get promoted to a Staff Engineer, you're told that for that position you have to work on large multi-team problems. However, you're not given time to do that because you're still a Senior Engineer and have to work on firefighting and regular stuff.
Very disappointing for me.
Rethink the engineering career path. You're getting a lot of frustrated Senior Engineers who have no path forward.

The interview was time-consuming. The technical interviewer was not friendly and did not create a good environment. They did not explain there were two exercises, and the time constraints and objectives were unclear. Significant preparation is needed
