Not worth the stress
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
September 4, 2025
Pros: Free food and good pay.
Cons: Everything seems driven by corporate politics and performance reviews. For some reason, software developers are expected to behave like PMs while also churning out code. It doesn't really matter if the code is good or not; you just have to pump out as much as you can so you have more lines of code written than the rest of your team.
