Good but bumpy
Good but bumpy
- Some brilliant people around.
- Large-scale tech that one has no chance to see outside global companies like this.
- Peer-to-peer mentality; few if any walls and silos.
- Good engineering culture in key systems.
- Transfers between departments are encouraged.
- Compensation, obviously!
-
Being placed on a team was a huge hurdle, as team headcount was short to non-existent. Try to join before Q4 :)
-
Remote work setup in 2020 was sometimes problematic, mostly from the org side.
-
Internal everyday tech moves quite quickly and may sometimes be unreliable and slow you down or block you.
-
Engineers (and sometimes even managers) do on-call shifts.
