Going downhill

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Full remote work and developer experience with top notch internal tools are the only things left from an once great company.

Cons

- Low salary compared to the market. - 1% raises and no RSU refreshers anymore. - Benefits constantly being curtailed or red tapped. - Uninspiring leadership. - Insanely hard to get promoted to Staff from SWEII, but easy to get hired as such.

No direction, but poor culture

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote, travel, good work life balance,

Cons

Poor direction. The company doesn’t know what’s next. Engineers are tasked to find product direction through brainstorming and get no credit for new features. Lots of A/B testing. Chances are your code will be useless in 3 months, on a recurring cycle. Poor visibility, management does nothing, hope your Tech lead cares about you and will advocate for you.

Out of touch leadership,

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None anymore. We used to have a culture of transparency, UGJ (use good judgement) and work life balance. Now we just push AI slop because thats what leadership asks for. Customers dont like the product, CSAT scores are in the hole.

Cons

- Annual compensation reviews are gone. Getting a 1-2% increase with no equity grants is now the new norm as growth has slowed to 10% - Commiting AI slop that is reviewed by AI and causes incidents is promoted - CPO out of touch with employees - Awful business outlook, CEO is out of ideas
