Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Former Employee
Bellevue, Washington, United States
December 4, 2013
Pros: Good benefits, stable job. Certain teams have very interesting things going on. You meet people with different years of experience, and there are some valuable things you can learn from them. Lots of benefits and a good multiplier effect on pay with cash and stock bonuses.
Cons: Re-orgs destroy everything.
Several teams are dead weight on the rest of the company, but ignored because the company is a profit machine.
Far too many processes and practices at this company come from the 20th century, which really slow things down.
Not relevant anymore, but the stack rank caused us to lose far too much talent for no good reason.
