Ventajas
Room to move around roles, departments
Smart and talented engineers people- if you can make connections
Great experience building
Cool products
Desventajas
Mediocre pay
Confusing processed- subject to change
Unlimited PTO is a scam to set meetings up on your calendar while you’re taking time off to not fully burn out
Some groups are great to work with or for, most are mediocre to bad.
Politics and bureaucracy- reviews that drag on for ages while also getting constantly squeezed to finish milestones.
Constant passing the buck on accountability- “there’s room under the bus for everyone!”
“This is how we’ve always done it” constantly running into “new process goals”
Every site was absorbed and used to be another separate company- so every site disputes the “right way” of doing things, and kind of does their own thing- despite messaging otherwise. For PE roles, if you have to incorporate multiple sites’ teams to work on the same project it can be a complete nightmare.
