No longer a bottom-up company
No longer a bottom-up company
- Good pay
- Good benefits (insurance, convenience service)
What was once a bottom-up, engineer-driven company is now incredibly top-down and bureaucratic.
It's expected at this scale, but as recently as 3 years ago, I felt like engineers played a huge part in driving team/org direction.
The org leads now can't decide what they want and don't consult engineering for scoping estimates, leading to tons of churn and frustration.
Overall, there's been a huge shift to monetization-focused efforts, but even with that, the leads will panic and pivot frequently, leading to a really difficult culture to actually get anything shipped.
