Like with any organization, there are weird cliques. I had the unfortunate experience of being told verbally I was working for one person, and then after being given a verbal offer was transitioned to work for a woman that is legitimately a miserable human being. From day one, condescending, eye rolling, telling me it was an awful / weird onboarding experience. From there it was essentially “working me out” as they call it in big tech. People talking trash about me to my face or in code right next to me. Lured me from cushy gig at a competitor with RSUs and cash sign on, only to give me a 46/100 on a sales simulation I had already done twice to get hired. Totally subjective, made it very clear they thought it was a mistake hiring me during the very first week. “Open honest direct” is a part of the culture, yet it was more or less sarcasm, condescension, and high school antics for me for 90 days. Family first, relationships matter etc, yet some cat lady who doesn’t know how to manage people, who walks around looking like she hasn’t slept in a week telling me “this isn’t for everybody” daily. She was in the office maybe 10 times during my “tenure” there, yet this is an inside sales job? Awesome company, just make sure you vet out your manager. Lesson learned!

If you are an apps engineer, very hard to grow beyond staff. If you are frontend engineer, then forget it entirely, even getting to staff might be difficult.
