Pros

Good pay, and people are generally very smart. People on the product team are technically savvy and good collaborators. The company has holistic engineering values, and there’s a strong company direction. Pretty happy with senior leadership.

Cons

The performance bar is constantly moving, so promotions and raises are hard to get. People are regularly fired for not meeting performance expectations.

Advice to Management

Just set upfront expectations for engineering, instead of moving the performance rating system or grading performance metrics on a curve.
