Flexible work options with great learning opportunities
Flexible work options with great learning opportunities
- Flexibility on how to work (fully remote, hybrid, office-based)
- Unmatched work-life balance
- Good equity compensation
- Great environment and people
- Huge opportunity to learn and expand your knowledge outside your main skills
- IC growth stops at senior. It's very hard, opportunity-based, and internal politics-based to get to Staff Engineer positions.
- Fewer and fewer benefits.
- Salary is starting to not be competitive.
- Culture has been diluted and switched to be shareholder-value oriented.
- Too many re-orgs that only benefit middle and top management, but opportunities for ICs are non-existent.
- Return to being user-oriented, where every feature and the work itself were interesting and important because we were improving our users' experience rather than looking for the shareholders' benefit.
