Good environment, little engineering freedom
Good environment, little engineering freedom
Good salary.
Smart colleagues, good networking potential.
Good work and life balance.
Nice internal tools and infrastructure.
• Most of the employees are overqualified for the tasks. • Very fragmented ownership, with a lot of dependencies on other teams. • Engineers spend a sufficient part of their time getting tons of buy-ins and approvals rather than doing actual engineering.
These cons are true for the areas generating money (Ads, Shopping, etc.). Other areas have more freedom.
