Great Culture, Variable Teams
Great Culture, Variable Teams
Good corporate culture. Good compensation. Good perks.
A 9-5 job. It might not be as fancy as other tech companies right now, but there are no crazy hours or expectation to stay long hours. The culture is relatively open as well.
Typical big company problems.
Difficult transparency to higher levels. Some decisions don't make sense to lower-level employees.
Experience can vary extremely between teams – hugely! I cannot emphasize this enough. One team may have a very strict, no-nonsense culture; another might be completely different.
More transparency to lower levels.
