My biggest regret

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing worth commenting on, some colleagues are pretty friendly

Cons

The worst manager I met in my life, knows nothing but people managing skills; why would talented people want to work for a guy who treats you like a slave? No dignity at all has to write you daily report every day and sum up total working hours per day. Nonsense

One of the best companies I've ever worked for

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Top-tier compensation, and excellent benefits (including quarterly credits from our gear store). - Interesting, cutting-edge work. - In a long career, this is the first time my manager devotes some time to discuss career development during our 1:1's.

Cons

- Some processes in place slow-down fellow engineers' productivity and speed of development. Not so much a con as an observation regarding the pace of work typical of a large, mature company.

Best job I've had so far

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Most technically challenging work I've done. * Excellent co-workers. Many masters of their respective fields. * Great leadership culture. * There's a bit of a cult of personality around the CEO. Once you hear him speak you'll know why.

Cons

* Skews male heavy. However, very diverse background otherwise. * Big company problems. A lot of tribal knowledge with out of date documentation. * You need to hunt down HR to get anything done.
