      A Dead End for Software Engineers

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits Great Remote flexibility for the engineering side of the house Decent work-life balance (assuming you don't have a bad manager) Looks great on a resume

      Cons

      A career dead-end for an engineer - this is not a place to learn and grow your technical skills. Prepare to spend about 70% of your time dealing with corporate bureaucracy and maybe 30% doing real engineering work. Organization as a whole is extremely close-minded and not open to new ideas, contrary to the value of "innovation".

      Pros

      Good WLB, good parental leave

      Cons

      Oh where do I start, horrible politics and measly pay. They do not do stock refreshers so employees who have been there for long time get penalized. You have been warned, don't stay here for more than three years.

      Tough but worth it

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great benefits - Knowledgeable leadership - Company really cares about philanthropy, equality, giving back, etc - Great compensation - I’ve been a part of two different teams and they really create a supportive team environment here - This job is basically a weed out program to see who can keep up and handle the stress. If you can last the year and a half in BDR it will be well worth it because your life will be much easier after promotion and you will be making well over 6 figures

      Cons

      - Work life balance is not good. I never have time to take a lunch and often have to send emails and do other admin work at night because the call metric and other metrics are so high there’s not time to get everything done during the day - It’s impossible to take more than 1-3 days off in a given month because there is zero metric relief for days off. Your metrics combine into a weighted score that determine your eligibility for promotion so you can’t ever miss your oh so high metrics or it will ruin you. So unless you want to be making 75-100 calls a day and stressing yourself out even more than you already are it’s not possible to take a whole week off
