Headed back downhill again
You can learn a lot and take a look at a lot of different technologies.
Standard Silicon Valley perks.
There was a lot of positive energy and buzz in 2013.
Surprise changes in policy that are to your disadvantage (e.g., shortly before annual rewards per level bonus payout percentages are lowered drastically). Unfair compensation, huge spread. The old guard still rules; change is hard and slow. A lot of policies sound better when announced by the CEO compared to what happens when they are implemented. Lackluster products, no real innovation. A lot of iteration and reimplementation without ever shipping, or only shipping after a lot of iteration and several reimplementations. Bureaucracy, red tape, and a policy jungle. You might wait months until IT has your notebook ready (backlog due to budget constraints).
There is a severe lack of accountability and ownership in the management chain between the SVP and the engineer.
