RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO
Pros
  • Good engineering culture.
  • Good and interesting products/projects/challenges.
  • Great compensation.
Cons
  • Sometimes whoever's loudest gets the promotion.
  • Career growth opportunity can be limited depending on team visibility.
  • Work can be stressful, with tight deadlines and lots of pressure.
Advice to Management
  • Fix the engineering competencies rubric to be more specific.
  • Make the process more transparent.
  • Many people are over/under-leveled, and it's causing disappointment and lack of motivation.
  • Fix the PIP process; it's unreasonable with no external oversight.
