Depends on Manager
Depends on Manager
Besides stock, pay, etc., the best thing is that most of the tech is based on open source, which means you learn skills that are transferable.
This is how my manager talks to me:
“Do you really understand what needs to be done here? Just seems like I'm spoon-feeding you and yet you still can’t get it right.”
Also, there are no “pass-downs,” meaning don’t expect to have a clue about the direction or initiatives of the rest of engineering until it’s in your current sprint!
Treat your employees with respect. Encourage them. They have ideas and creative solutions for problems the company needs, but they won't share them when they're always feeling beaten down.
