- 5.0Move fast or get brokenProduction Engineer • Former EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesMay 13, 2024Pros: Working on the best tech with smart people. Great pay, great benefits. Disney-land like campus if you're at HQ in Menlo Park. Tip: Publish and promote your work. You will be judged on what you promote. Quietly doing good work isn't enough.Cons: Pressure to move up or get kicked out. Rewarded for starting new, exciting projects; nobody is maintaining the old tech debt projects. During my time, management was too obsessed with VR/Metaverse, which doesn't bring in money. Maybe it's better now with a new focus on AI.
