Company is growing fast in all metrics.

Engineering Leadership Doesn't Know How to Scale

Pros

Even though we lost/are losing talented engineers, there are still many smart people for now.

Cons

Leadership is doing a great job lowballing engineers. By paying industry average salaries to above average workforce, they manage to save a couple thousand dollars a year. Meanwhile the company has 200 million funds sitting in a bank account collecting interest. People will jump ship finally.
