How’s the acquisition of Jet by Walmart working for engineers of Jet? I heard that a lot of engineers are leaving the company.
Its been 3 years since the acquisition. People leaving is not news.
People definitely leaving. Major culture clash. Jet was very isolated from wm culture in the beginning. It had been changing at a trickle. For the last 3-6 months, more and more changes coming at an accelerated pace. Then last few weeks, significant changes. Very few pre-launch leaders left. Most everyones vesting is complete. Long standing teams being disbanded. Unless it's all about the cash, theres little left to stay for.
Where did you hear this? I got an offer from them 2 yrs ago as SDE1 close to 190K TC. This was higher than Amazon L4 and FB E3 at the time.
So why didn't you join?
I think my recruiter was high on coke when we met onsite... But anyway, I just saw some negative things... Also I would need to move to NYC from Bay Area. Wasn't sure about the crazy move.
