Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: AFAIK, there is no pip in the system. If you have some concerns about regular pip, here can be a safe shelter.
And due to many low performers, you can shine easily with very minimum effort for work, so WLB can be great.
Cons: As per no pip, there are too many unqualified engineers for their level. And almost half of Staff+ levels here are not even close to the Senior Engineer level at other companies. I really cannot believe the performance level of some Sr or above level engineers, unless they are taking multiple remote jobs with their current role.
