Was good but getting worse

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Job pays well, you work with very smart ICs. Tech stack is modern and reasonably not spaghetti code.

Cons

Company wants people to move faster and have shorter timelines for projects, without giving more resources or support. Newly implemented 15% “mostly meets expectations (mme)” requirement, and if you get 3 in a row, you’re fired. Sounds quite like stack ranking and PIP. Almost no way to give feedback about your manager, very top down culture. Four holidays were cut unannounced this year, and the new CEO was writing snide comments on slack about how we had too many holidays and needed to work harder. Heard second hand stories of good engineers getting managed out due to disagreement with managers.

It's alright

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Best pay, best programmers in Poland, interesting problems to work on because company is technical

Cons

Depends on the team but company culture is quarter review oriented so you often have to fight for you impact, you have to do things that have best visibility/work ratio instead of focusing on creating best product possible. If you get a good manager he will shield you a little from it, if you get into wrong area the upper management will make it worse by putting more pressure.
