Cruise Software engineer offer eval
Hello Blind Community, I did my onsite for a senior software engineer, but was offered only software engineer. 165k base 20k bonus 150k RSU over 4 years YOE 3 How good is the offer?
3YOE is definitely not Senior SWE. Base is solid. Push RSU to 180k, bonus to 45 and sign on to 10k
Congrats
Did u ask the recruiter range of software engineer position?
They said senior for them is 4YOE and that the offer presented to me is the absolute top of band for Software engineer.
They are obligated to tell you the range of Software Engineer base salary - at least you will know how top of band it is. Afaik, there is no 4 yoe condition in the company for eligibility to senior position - most probably some interviews might not have gone as well that might have resulted in downgrading to non senior role.
Are they legally obligated to share comp ranges based on level to candidates? What about for employees at that level? Also, my understanding is that senior SWE at Cruise is a very wide level. I definitely know folks with PhD plus 2 YoE at that level.
Yes they are obligated to share base ranges. Senior is a very wide level. What do you mean by “what about for employees at that level”?
Let me clarify the question: according to California law, what information about compensation are they obligated to share to 1. employees 2. candidates? Only base pay ranges? Or also bonus and stock comp ranges? When I got their offer, they refuse to share a comp range for the senior SWE band.
This company is not going anywhere .. r u ok with that ?
I work at Ticketmaster. I'm sure it's going somewhere on relative terms
T rowe price seems to think we’re going somewhere
Maybe they want you cruise past the offer?
I am waiting on an offer from Google. They were trying to get me to close the deal before I can get an offer from Google. They changed deadlines on me multiple times, changes teams, changed positions. It feels red flaggy.
Wow that is red flaggy. Definitely dont accept or reject before your google offer comes in. Only advice i can tell you is that that offer does seem top of the band for software eng and is pretty strong for non senior
Thank you for the information
They just received a 1B dollar investment round. I don't think it's ready for immediate acquisition.
