Business Outlook

Pros

modern well kept facilities with good amenities, open and approachable executives, good benefits, flexible WFH policy, reasonable expectations for work life balance

Cons

high turnover and low morale at the moment, while the company values are great I did not see them being used during day to day business, not necessarily a con but several managers who have been with the company since it was much smaller--the con here is from my observations they tend to be stuck in old, inefficient ways of doing things and were resistant to any suggestion of change

Pros

Pros - CDP has best Tech stack - Best team - junior engineer can make difference.Opportunity to learn architecture - Manager(L1)was good - VP is highly respected by engineers - Architect is very likable and knowledgeable - my Product manager was great but she recently quit - Heard this group pays well.

Cons

Cons - Overly fast moving - FAANG level interview bar but pay not at same level in Bay Area - Production support and deployment with fast moving development can be difficult. Too much production deployments and support.
