Great learning opportunities but heavy internal politics
Great learning opportunities but heavy internal politics
Vast opportunities to learn and grow technically.
Strong engineering standards and large-scale distributed systems exposure.
Good compensation and benefits compared to many companies.
Smart people and talented peers across teams.
A lot of internal politics exists within some engineering teams.
Visibility and networking sometimes matter more than actual engineering output.
Candidates from IITs or big tech backgrounds like Google and Amazon often get preferential treatment during hiring and internal growth.
Engineers coming from startup backgrounds may feel undervalued, even if they have strong real-world ownership experience.
Survival and growth can depend heavily on navigating internal politics rather than pure technical skills alone.
