Good salary but toxic and stagnant

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary, benefits and independence (although, lesser so these days).

Cons

Zero work/life balance. Golden handcuffs. Pigeon-holed in expertise. The culture of fear is real and alive, ostensibly b/c you are only as good as your last success. Performance is subjective and 100% based on your manager-of-the-week’s POV… hence the ridiculous involuntary churn of talented people.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Pay, Remote, Entertaining work (literally).

Cons

Some of the orgs are a mess. People at the top with little experience promoting others with little experience. Not really a place where you get promoted for doing good work anymore, more so expected to be non-threatening to those above you.

Declining culture, decreasing pay bands and high stress

Senior engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The ONLY pro: All cash compensation however theirs downsides to it as well. You can invest it any way you want but holding RSU that can promise gains is a sweet thing. Their options only yield advantage if stock appreciates more than 40% so it's a veeery long game nowadays.

Cons

High stress Declining culture - no team spirit, no motivation, no acknowledgement. Politics dragged in from higher levels. No transparency in hiring or firing decisions. No learning or mentoring culture. Seldom is one setup for success. It's everyone to save their own butts.
