Aggressively growing organization that values employees & promotes a culture of trust
Senior Manager Software Engineering • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
November 1, 2021
Pros: Work with talented yet humble engineers who strive to retain the culture of trust.
An organization with well-defined processes and tools that ensures smooth onboarding.
Struggles and challenges of joining a new organization will always be there, but detailed design documentation, historic Slack conversations behind a certain feature/product, and a true open culture surrounded by friendly people around you make the journey pleasant.
Cons: Huge organization with a deep hierarchy in leadership will bring along challenges in translating ideas to reality. It's no different here. In a way, it's good as these ideas go through a process of churn in their pursuit of weighing their merits, but these act as road bumps to reduce the pace of innovation.
