Good WLB, Stingy Comp
Good WLB, Stingy Comp
- Very good WLB.
- PTO is unlimited and actually encouraged (I don't feel restricted).
- Work is very manageable.
- People are generally very nice.
- Compensation is subpar, really brings your motivation down.
- Not a politics-free company.
- Managers are very, very hit or miss.
- Overall pay adjustments, bonuses, etc., feel extremely stingy. Clearly, software engineers aren't as valued here compared to other companies.
- Career growth is limited; I'm going to promote by getting hired elsewhere.
- RSUs are sinking like the Titanic.
You're basically trading top tech company pay for a very nice work-life balance.
(Lower-level management): Be more present and actually be a manager.
