Pros
  • Good cafeteria
  • Flexible timing
  • Good people in tech at SDE2 and SDE3 levels.
  • The lead architect is good and result-oriented.
  • The head of engineering is a very good guy.
Cons
  • Engineering VPs have more power here, and all are politicians.
  • The CTO has no concrete vision for tech and no power, also.
  • No one is following good engineering ethics and practices.
  • A billion-dollar startup with no SecOps / CISO team. Think again.
  • Less automation on the infra side. Chaotic tech operations, most of the DevOps work is manual.
  • Higher management in tech, especially on the Platform team, is very bad.
  • Only a few people in higher management are working towards the company's goal; the rest are busy with their dirty politics.
Advice to Management

Your tech culture is dying; it's on your hands, Mr. CEO.

People are good; you only need to focus on mid-management and higher-management levels (especially Engineering Managers and VPs).
