• Company still walks the walk on work-life balance and DI&B.

The company is hiring new engineers at a breakneck pace, putting a huge amount of stress on our onboarding, mentorship, and management capabilities. There are simply not enough qualified managers to oversee these new teams, and existing ones are overburdened and burnt out.

We are still waiting to see what changes the company makes to compensation in March. The lack of communication and transparency throughout the process has shown a lack of concern for employees who are on the fence about whether this is all worth it. I can only imagine how it is for those not fortunate enough to be paid as highly as engineers and who don't know whether they'll be paid a livable wage in light of the ever-increasing cost of living.

Please consider the organizational cost of aggressive hiring and correct course by investing more in compensating, training, and supporting managers.

Between an exodus of senior talent and an influx of new and junior engineers, we walk a dangerous path that can have dire consequences for an engineering organization.
