Great work, disappointing compensation and benefits
Great work, disappointing compensation and benefits
Work is great, fast-paced (contrary to belief).
Modern open office helps in collaboration. Use of open-source technologies is encouraged.
The company is so big that sometimes multiple teams work on similar projects. In the end, your work may get scrapped. Compensation is very low compared to other Silicon Valley companies. Benefits aren't great. There are no team-building activities or team outings.
You can't expect engineers to work hard for below-par wages. Engineering is just as important as Sales!
