Pros

1. Benefits are great. Great health insurance, standard 401k, good ESPP 2. Compensation is competitive for top 10% of market 3. SE org is relatively new, and gives a lot of autonomy to get things done

Cons

1. Hard to find information due to number of information sources. We have slack, teams, confluence, jira, SharePoint, gpts, etc. 2. Lack of remote options. The company's official stance is hybrid, but unofficially a lot of people get away with remote. Would be nice for them to officially allow remote status after some tenure

It’s good to hear you’re finding value in the benefits, competitive reward, and autonomy in the SE organisation. We know information can feel fragmented with so many tools in use, and your suggestion about more common platforms and search is helpful. Hybrid working is our standard approach, but we understand preferences vary and appreciate your feedback on remote flexibility. Growth at pace means some processes evolve unevenly, and input like yours helps us improve how teams operate at scale. Thanks for sharing your perspective from San Diego; it’s clear you’re already making an impact.
