Some Teams Toxic

Systems development engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects and technology to work on.

Cons

On some teams, jerks and prima donnas allowed to be jerks and prima donnas and get promoted for it. Benefits: In the areas of 401k matching, PTO, and lack of an Employee Stock Purchase plan, are very poor. Employee Amazon Store discount is a joke. On the surface it's a 10% discount, which sounds great, but it's capped at $100/year. That doesn't even cover a Prime membership.

Fine company, lots of priority thrashing

Systems development engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, decent work life balance, and good benefits. Rarely will you find a place that is finding solutions at a scale as large as this.

Cons

Due to constrained headcount and hiring freezing there's been a lot of prioritization thrashing. Meaning the thing you might be working on that is priority #1 might change midway through your project. Can lead to burnout.
