Good relaxed place to work with bad oncall

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- nice, relaxed people - slightly above average compensation - 35 hours a week other than oncall - very high WFH flexibility - fun products to work on sometimes - a few really talented engineers that stay for the product

Cons

- low pay for high performers - work is not super challenging - some managers don’t seem to put in effort toward the growth of those under them - ONCALL: the oncall is pretty unreasonable here; there is not enough focus on reducing unnecessary pages in basically all teams. Oncall should really be paid given this.

Not great, not terrible

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Multicultural working place with interesting projects. Inside the company there are numerous different units, each doing specific unique part of the whole domain, taking responsibility for their services.

Cons

Salary is competitive only when you initially join the company. After that, the yearly increase is definitely not impressive. In some units the atmosphere is kind of toxic, people are burnt out and the environment is not very friendly. The management doesn't appear to show any interest towards improving the state of employees that are located outside of USA.
