Pros

When I joined, StockX had some amazing engineers. This meant that most basic engineering processes and tooling were well set up. Work life balance is great on most days and depends on which team you work on and your manager.

Cons

Unapproachable HR team, and things change with zero communication. New features keep coming in, only to be dropped a few months later. Most of the new management do not have startup experience, so the culture has become worse in the past 1 year. Hiring process is absolute chaos, and the same questions are asked to every candidate which are easily available all over the internet. This has resulted in some candidates being hired who are not ideal for the work we do.

Advice to Management

Focus on keeping good engineers around you, and this is only possible if you stay true to your values.
