A very good place to work, but difficult to grow
A very good place to work, but difficult to grow
Access to amazing technologies and great engineers.
Very good conditions and perks.
Very forgiving and welcoming for work-life balance.
A lot of reorganizations and shifts in directions make it hard to be effective and do impact.
Despite platitudes, most of the effect on your advancement is shipped features, not collegial help, technical knowledge, or solved bugs.
This makes it difficult to gain impact if you're a bit more pedantic, or if you get a role/project that is low visibility or focused on maintenance.
Very inconsistent level of middle management.
Spend less time obsessing about AI and more time polishing products.
