Not a good place to work

Pros

Great medical 401k and education benefits

Cons

Stack ranking at scale and very toxic environment to work for, extremely top heavy org and there are relatively less firing at the top(PL level) compared to the bottom level (the people who actually get the job done). This shows that the top management plays dirty tricks to keep their job's safe at the expense of the actual workers. DO NOT JOIN!!!

This place is becoming a toxic cess pool

Pros

Work Life Balance is good. Food on campus is good.

Cons

Toxic Culture. Terrible leadership. Stack "Ranking". Between a never ending backlog of vulnerabilities, Enterprise "initiatives", and broken deployment pipelines, you'll get the opportunity to ship useless features. Politics and optics reign supreme here and it shows in our "evaluations". It's no wonder the same people are 15-17 years in the same role/ department.

Pros

Work/life balance is the best I've ever had. Deadlines are generally pretty lenient as well.

Cons

The annual review process uses stack racking: which I think is the root cause of one of the most passively toxic work cultures I've been a part of. Teams put forward a great front of working together to solve problems, but once the review cycle hits it all boils down to how much your manager likes you as a person. Innovative engineering and extra effort spanning the whole year takes a back seat to how much you've stroked your upper management's ego over the year. I've seen fantastic engineers get poor ratings due to not flashing their accomplishments while subpar engineers get promotions from knowing how to run their mouths about doing the most trivial tasks to seem impressive to management. Overall it's an incredibly stressful environment for employees who care about improvement rather than boot-licking.
