Robinhood

• Decent compensation for Canada.
• Recognizable brand name on the resume.

• Unrealistic deadlines are set from the top down with little to no room for engineer pushback.
• There is a poor work-life balance, as people are expected to grind without meaningful boundaries.
• There is a blame culture where mistakes are met with threats of termination rather than learning opportunities.
• Shipped code quality suffers due to relentless pressure to move fast with inadequate testing processes.
• There is a noticeable cultural divide between US and Canadian employees, and Canadians are often treated as second-class contributors.
• There is a lack of meaningful diversity, and the team composition tends to reflect the hiring manager's in-group rather than hiring the best.

Invest in the people you hire. A culture of fear, speed-over-quality, and geographic favouritism will continue to drive out your best engineers.
