Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
July 15, 2020
Pros: A very impact-driven company. It's usually easy to tell if you're making a difference or not because everything is tracked.
If you're looking for career growth, Wish is the place to be.
Unlimited PTO, free lunch.
The CEO is a hard-working guy.
Cons: Your pay will differ a lot from employees who might have joined recently.
Low pay, especially if you joined more than a year back.
Leadership is inexperienced but pretty effective.
People are often fired, but no one ever talks about it.
They want to be like Shopify, but they don't care about merchants and customers. Merchants are constantly fined, and customer orders are constantly delayed. Achieving short-term goals is everything.
WLB is not at all good. Engineering teams are overworked. Multiple PMs work with the same engineer.
