Pros
  • Good food & office
  • Generally nice people
  • Good benefits (even though they cut the $100/month fitness stipend)
Cons
  • Bad management.
  • Have a lot of "engineering" managers who are not technical at all.
  • Not enough PMs/designers, so everything takes a long time since they each have so many projects.
  • Designs are reviewed by VPs in design, so approval takes a long time.
  • Some orgs are really toxic.
  • Culture changed a lot after two layoffs, becoming more Amazon-y.
Advice to Management

Hire engineers to be engineering managers.

Promote people internally more.
