Good initial offer and benefits, but all other aspects are disappointing
Good initial offer and benefits, but all other aspects are disappointing
- Good comp for externally hired staff engineer
- Good benefits
- Heard that internal promotion package and refreshers are disappointing.
- In the infra org, project initiatives are mostly top-down.
- Time is mostly spent on meetings, alignment, migration, and legacy complexity, instead of building new software to actually improve the system (to be honest, they don't need to, since the company is not really growing, and there are no scalability and new feature challenges).
- There is very minimal learning, and my engineering skills stagnated and got rusted.
