Amazing WLB, but pay can be tightly controlled
Amazing WLB, but pay can be tightly controlled
- Flexible deadlines
- Remote working is supported
- Company is large enough to have career tracks into Senior Staff or Principal titles
- Well-established company with well-defined organizations. It's easy to start as a new hire and begin work immediately.
- Pay is not of the top Big Tech salaries, but a 40-hour work week is highly respected. You may have ample opportunity and time for a side business to generate additional income, such as selling your hobbies.
- Annual bonus is on the low end (10%).
- Annual bonus is dependent on company's profit performance.
- You must make a strong case for making the jump from Staff to Sr. Staff. It's a bigger hurdle than jumping from Sr. Staff to Principal.
- Don't count on the company to automatically give promotions. You MUST make a strong case and advocate for yourself, or switch jobs.

Attended the first round. Helpful interviewer and always supportive. Selected for the second round. It was a C++ Staff Software Engineer role. It was a technical interview asking different questions on modern C++ such as 17, 20, 23, etc.
Staff Software Engineer
It was not a great experience. I just attended this for interview experience. Since it's not a paymaster, it's mostly on legacy technology and not much into cloud. It mostly seems like maintenance projects.
Staff Software Engineer
Initial screening was a video call on MS Teams. Went through a GE product line presentation. It was mostly a one-on-one with the hiring manager. Went through project overview and technical skills. Now waiting to hear back.
