Used to be a good place to work. Now, a sinking ship
Staff Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
July 9, 2025
Pros: * Used to have talented engineers to work with.
* Used to be a fun place to hang out and discuss cool projects at lunches.
* Used to have $50 meal perks.
* I really enjoyed solving technical problems with substantial support from engineering platform teams.
Cons: Losing talent.
Lack of clarity from senior management in big initiatives to catch up with the competition.
Quality of engineers from outside of the US is uneven, making it hard for collaboration and moving the needle.
