      Not what it was

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great co-workers, interesting problems to solve

      Cons

      Company has lost it's soul, leadership has been taken over by low vision bean counters who see pip culture as the best way to demonstrate their values.

      Compensation’s one of the few bright spots

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They pay you well, no complaints there.

      Cons

      Promotions crawl at a snail’s pace. No 401k match. Work-life balance? Forget it — it’s all about 'deliver faster.' They track how many PRs you crank out and how fast you approve others. The culture leans heavy on blame and stack ranking, with barely anyone getting top ratings. Every quarter’s a pressure cooker during reviews. Leadership? They’re lost — no clear vision on what’s worth investing in."

      Good pay but gruelling culture and death by review

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - A LOT depends on which org/team you end up in and who your manager will be - experience may vary. - Expect to work with smart people and collaborate a lot. - Top of the market pay (p90+) and benefits will motivate you for a while. - Positive market outlook.

      Cons

      - A lot of senseless red tape and approvals to go through, some of them (UX reviews) will contradict the goals of your org. Expect things to take a while before they're shipped. - Little to no career growth. You will be given promises but don't base your plans on that. Watch the level - here it matters because upwards mobility is nearly absent except juniors. - Quarterly performance reviews keep people on their toes. Incentives of different functions are misaligned and you might face situations where engineers refuse to design a high priority project and instead work on a low priority one because they need to hit a PR count goal (yes, that affects the rating).
