There was nice pay.

There were big tech comforts like microkitchens and free breakfast and lunch.

The $2000 health and wellness grant is pretty sick, actually.

Where to begin...

• I had no choice which team I was placed in. Eventually, I got forced into a position I didn't want and worked on products I don't care about.
• Management and lead unironically tell you to "ask Claude" 99% of the time when you're stuck instead of giving you concrete advice.
• The company maintains a dashboard of employee-level metrics every half tracking your commit count, lines of code pushed, etc. Even if you meet all your project requirements, if you don't meet an arbitrary lines of code target, you can kiss your job goodbye.
• If you hate AI slop, you will see it everywhere here.
• There is an ever-present threat of layoffs.

Uhh, maybe jump off the sinking ship?
