Excellent place to start. Meh place to stay
Excellent place to start. Meh place to stay
Lots of freedom - you are the master of your own career. You get full credit for your achievements (with the cost of taking full responsibility).
Retains its "move fast" culture - you can get a lot of meaningful work done.
Smart and proficient colleagues - you can learn a lot regardless of your level!
Compensation is fair and sweet.
Forget about work/life balance. In fact, forget about work/sleep balance. Management does nothing to deal with the problem.
Horrible working conditions. Wide and extremely noisy open spaces (impossible to concentrate), tiny desks, lines in restrooms, unavailable meeting rooms. I do most of my meaningful work from home. Management refuses to acknowledge the problem and praises facilities, so no chance of this being fixed.
A strong political bias coming all the way from the top pollutes the working climate.
