LTK reviews

If you are the kind of engineer who enjoys gathering requirements, building reliable software, and spending time improving systems instead of just shoveling hobbled-together features out the door day and night, this might not be an ideal workplace for you. Tech leadership insists on hiring ONLY senior and above engineers and still treats those highly qualified people as fools. Expect to have VPs and "distinguished engineers" completely supplant your tech designs and implementation plans despite knowing little to nothing about your problem space, only to back peddle after actually investigating the problem, rather than having open conversations and providing feedback. Prepare to be insulted and belittled by engineering VPs (especially the ones with Amazon on their resumes) and prepare to absolutely snap your neck keeping pace with the company's changes in direction. Unlucky enough to be working on a system that suddenly becomes critical to the business's 5-year-plan? Don't expect additional resources and do NOT expect merit pay increases. What LTK calls "merit increases" are effectively cost of living raises. Internal promotion appears non-existent.

No onboarding to speak of. Never provided expectations or success criteria for the job. Social media influencer focused business. Lost me when they began discussing hooking the 13-and-under age group on influencer culture.
