A good, relaxed place to work with bad on-call
A good, relaxed place to work with bad on-call
- Nice, relaxed people.
- Slightly above average compensation.
- 35 hours a week, other than on-call.
- Very high WFH flexibility.
- Fun products to work on sometimes.
- A few really talented engineers that stay for the product.
- Low pay for high performers.
- Work is not super challenging.
- Some managers don’t seem to put in effort toward the growth of those under them.
- ONCALL: The oncall is pretty unreasonable here. There is not enough focus on reducing unnecessary pages in basically all teams. Oncall should really be paid given this.
Make on-call paid, so those who are stuck on it don’t see it as much of a negative.

We only arranged a quick phone call. Unfortunately, I didn't pass the next step. It only took 20 minutes. Stephen was very kind. It was nice to know him, even when he is on vacation. He mailed me an apology for his late answer.
