Learn, But Get Underpaid
Learn, But Get Underpaid
Teams are generally collaborative. The overall atmosphere within engineering teams allows space for you to learn and grow.
Management and HR, in good-old midwestern tradition, smile at your face. If you are white, you are golden! If not, you will, on a daily basis, be at the receiving end of awkward comments, and at best, pity disguised as advocacy.
During your year-end and other reviews, you are told you are doing well, adding value, demonstrating Target "qualities," etc., etc. Then you get to compensation and they will gaslight you by saying that you had a great year and you are getting a good pay raise. It's pretty offensive when I know that I am getting paid in the bottom 25th percentile for my experience and salary range.
Give real feedback so that people can grow. If you appreciate an employee, don't patronize and gaslight them by assuring them that their contributions are appreciated enough for lip-service but not for matching pay. "Be Bold"

Two calls from recruiters discussing roles. One phone screen, which lasted around 45 minutes. Two assignments: one on coding and one on personality. One onsite interview that lasted a day. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

I was called for a phone screen. The second round involved four people. * The first person asked high-level system design questions. * The second person was very rude. When I mentioned a framework he didn't know, he became frustrated and upset.

It was more of a behavioral interview. I was interviewed by four different people on the same day. One was technical, and the others were more scenario-based. I was referred by my manager at the time and came with high recommendations from my peers a
