Toxic atmosphere and low compensation
Toxic atmosphere and low compensation
- If you are a "yes" person and not a capable engineer, that is the best place for you - just listen to what your manager says and pretend you're working.
- People outside might think you're cool.
- The company does silent layoffs and follows Amazon principles.
- It is the opposite of Alphabet culture.
- Good scientists who built the company are leaving.
- There is low base compensation.
- The company is hiring ex-Amazon and ex-fintech managers who have never built anything.
Stop playing "bad cop" as middle managers and "good cop" as the engineering director with software engineers. Stop empire-building. Change your mindset. Focus on the product and the value it creates. Treat people with respect.
