It's all about compromise: great product/opportunities at the cost of compensation and benefits
It's all about compromise: great product/opportunities at the cost of compensation and benefits
Work/life balance: you can walk out free of mind when your day is over.
Collaborative work culture: no politics within Engineering.
Working on a high visibility/popular consumer app.
Too few sick days. Too few PTO days. No sizable corporate shutdowns during holidays. Poor 401k contribution. Don't pay top dollar; poor stock performance lately. Offers the minimum legal family leave, but was once a leader in the domain. HQ is surrounded by homelessness and pee smell.
Continue focusing on keeping the product and the infrastructure up to date and fresh. It is exciting to see all these upcoming projects. Be bold; don't hesitate to try new avenues.
Be a better champion for your staff and listen to their requests. It took 2 years for the sick time problem to be heard and 6 more months until we heard the proposed solution.
The staff skews heavily towards new grads, and this can lead some demographics to feel old quickly. Keep an eye on benefits; you won't attract industry with the current offering. If you can't pay in this market, consider opening other offices for engineering.
