Great engineering problems and ownership
Great engineering problems and ownership
- Great engineering work with opportunities to solve complex, large-scale problems across domains like Search, Ads, Warehouse, Backend, ML, and Data.
- Strong ownership culture. Engineers have significant influence over their own technical direction as well as that of the team.
- Generally strong talent across Engineering, Product, and Data Science, which makes collaboration and problem-solving enjoyable.
- Compensation is good overall.
- Limited growth opportunities at senior levels. The organization is relatively bottom-heavy, which can make learning beyond senior roles difficult.
- Compensation can be below market for comparable roles and locations, particularly at senior levels.
- Leadership quality varies by team. Most teams have good leadership, but the experience can depend significantly on the manager and org.
- Pay closer attention to the health of teams where manager or leadership ratings are consistently low, and intervene earlier.
- Invest more in world-class engineering processes, productivity metrics, and mechanisms that help teams continuously improve engineering quality and effectiveness.
