Pay only worth it if you are down with constant performance review grind cycle
Pay only worth it if you are down with constant performance review grind cycle
Preposterously high pay, pretty good perks, and a fairly flexible RTO policy at the time of employment.
The entire company worships at the altar of metrics, to the point where any and all work has to be metrics-driven, even if the work itself is obviously pointless or degrades the value of the product itself. Engineering upkeep is wildly deprioritized as a result, and everyone is so constantly mortified of the 6-month review cycle that anything that doesn't look good on them is completely tossed aside. The work-life balance is dreadful, since someone is inevitably pulling all-nighters to look good on their reviews, so if you aren't, you look bad by comparison. The company is also, obviously, super evil.
Your performance review cycle is dreadful at anything other than justifying your constant layoff waves, and it is the reason everyone hates using your product.

I only made it to the initial phone interview. I had to code on CodePen while on the phone. The interviewer jumped right into the technical question, asking me no questions about my background.
