Visa Work Experiences

Good Tech with Bad Pay

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Foster City, California, United States

Pros: The team I worked with has good tech, and I liked most of my team members. Work/life balance is good. Many people have children, and management does not raise any fuss when people take PTO.

Cons: This seems to be a company that undervalues tech talent and focuses its love on the business side, even though the core product is supposedly their tech.
