Big impact work, great team, no work life balance

Technical program manager iii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart, highly motivated team, initiatives that have direct customer impact, high visibility in the organization. Own your product end-to-end from conception to implementation to delivery to maintenance.

Cons

Very aggressive goals, no work life balance. Boss works harder than me because boss has more agressive goals. Company expects to work hard, work smart and work long hours. All teams own online services and you are never off work if you are the manager. Need to invest in a support org for live issues that pop up in the middle of the night.

The largest startup in the world

Software engineer iii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good pay at higher levels (SDE 3+) 2. Excellent range of opportunities - work from UI to the largest web services infrastructure in the world to machine learning to consumer products (Kindle).. If you get bored of one team, moving to another is straightforward. 3. High achievers are rewarded well 4. Super focused and competent senior management

Cons

1. The frugality (cheapness) gets old after a while. 2. Growing as an individual contributor after the SDE 2 level is made ridiculously tough and is completely team dependent; an SDE 2-3 promotion in a technically strong team might take years (or never happen) with the same promotion take a few months in some other teams 3. Uneven quality across groups and teams - there needs to be a consistent hiring bar. 4. Employees are treated largely as cogs. The pager hell is real and can be bad depending on the team.
