Shockingly stable software org
Top of the chain has solid product and engineering sense. Loads of engineering freedom, especially outside frontend. Promos come with big comp increases. No real layoffs yet. Established products tend to be chill. In-person culture helps less experienced engineers. HR dealt with most recent scandals well.
- Dev experience is awful. Molasses-speed tools are borderline unusable.
- Promotions are closer connected to who your manager is than your performance.
- Broken, elitist hiring practices mean there are few women and too many dudes who have no social skills despite going to Ivy Leagues.
Don't be so afraid to pip bozos. Drop some of the LeetCode interviews and have some socially aware managers do more interviews.
