Still at great place to work at
Still at great place to work at
Benefits are great, including a 401(k) match, unlimited PTO, and health insurance. There are still remote opportunities on some teams.
It got more intense and competitive during 2024 and 2025 after all the layoffs, but the salaries and bonuses for existing employees stayed the same. If you don't mind working from the office, I'd still check for other FAANG alternatives with higher compensation. It used to be an open secret that they paid less, but it was more chill, which is not the case anymore.
