Impressive tech, culture, and benefits; lackluster leadership from the top
Competitive salary, great benefits. Flexible work hours and a good number of vacation days. Easy to switch roles, teams, and locations.
A significant chunk of pay (more than 1/3) comes from "equity grants," meaning you only start to get paid until a year after the actual work you've done.
Trending towards increased bureaucracy and arbitrary standards for promotion and hiring.
Management needs to listen to the rank and file more often and start pushing back on these negative trends the company is heading towards. This goes double for the CEO, VPs, and all the senior leadership, who appear to not only not be pushing back but actively encouraging this trend.
