Very chill, very boring
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Santa Clara, California, United States
November 13, 2025
Pros: - Work a few hours a week
- Everyone is chill
Cons: You will learn nothing.
To get ahead and do anything meaningful is nearly impossible. If you try to, you will be beholden to sister teams doing nothing and your own teammates overestimating work. Don't shake the culture-type feel.
Pay is slightly above average as a general average, but very below for a top 100 company.
