Culture is fading, limited career growth
Flat org, single product, data-driven.
Culture used to be real; now the memo is just a shrine. Performance reviews are highly subjective. Candor can get you a severance. Senior eng leaders have been too long in their roles and are behind cloud tech. Teams are bloated, and talent density is getting seriously diluted. Comp is excellent for average engineers and average for excellent engineers. There is no career path for ICs who do not want to manage people.
Reduce the size of engineering teams. Refocus on engineering excellence.
