Was contacted by recruiter. How is salary and work environment there for a senior engineer? I like their product, I wonder how much they can grow.
Lots of upside, though not an explosive growth co. But that can be a good thing. Disciplined growth while building moats beats a crazy rocket ship without a parachute.
The work environment on average is toxic and can be hostile thanks to Glenn Kelman. Managers walk around on eggshells wondering if he will blow up or not. There have been countless examples where he has screamed at or bullied employees only to keep calling them later to apologize. It’s a recurring pattern.
No one is perfect but calling the environment toxic is way overblown. Also, coming from someone at Amazon I’d say check your glass house first.
They churn through PMs “like, wow”
Nope, well below Silicon Valley churn rates.
