- Healthcare allowance. If you don't use it (covered by spouse etc), you can put the funds into a 401k. Most tech companies give healthcare benefits as a use-it-or-lose-it. - Other "tech office" benefits: gaming center, stocked kitchen, WFH 2x per week (before COVID, 100% WFH during pandemic) - "Personal training" time to learn and develop new skills outside of your work every week - Fitness clubs, can use 1 paid hour of time per week to participate in group activities of the club of your choice - Engineering specific pro: lots of growth opportunity. We are adopting a new stack for re-building our products, which is a dream for any engineer to help make those choices and build something brand new. - Supportive management. They recently created a new Engineering Manager role for each Agile team, basically a manager who is also a technical mentor and contributor. - Compassionate and business-savvy higher-ups (VP level and above. The company recently had to do layoffs to survive the impact of COVID. These were the first layoffs the company ever had to do and I believe them when they say it was the hardest part of their careers so far. We lost many good people. HR handled it the best way they could given that everyone is remote- I empathize that it is hard to not be able to say goodbye directly. But many people reached out using personal email, so that was always an option. It doesn't speak poorly to HR that layoffs were remote and contact was cut off. They have to consider worst case scenarios of Slack access for former employees, even though I don't believe any of those let go would have done anything bad. HR is doing HR's job.
