Get Your EstimateCompany Rewards
- Do you reward jerks in your company? At Amazon, we reward people to be jerks. There is no emphasis on collaboration or helping others. Those who are aggressive, poke their nose into everything in the name of "customers" and generally act like jerks tend to flourish. Collaboration is not a leadership principle. What you do matters - not
- Which Companies Rewards Tenure We all know that TC growth is faster when we jump ship than wait for internal promotion or merit increase. I am curious which companies actually rewards tenure by like giving really good refresher or really good TC bump. I heard Bloomberg and Two Sigma gives good merit increases to prevent employe
- vote Does your company significantly reward high performers? In Facebook we have the discretionary equity (DE) as a tool to reward top performers, as picked by the director, by giving them additional equity to vest over 4 years. The DE is 3-6 times the value of a typical refresher of that level. This makes a good performer have a compensation well beyond com
- Companies which actually reward you for hard work Most big companies rather teams in big companies put their employes in such a comfort zone where eventually you end up doing basic 9 - 5 job no matter how enthusiastic you were when you joined them. I have seen this happening almost with 75% new hires in my company. Assuming rest 25% being the lucky
- what company offer the best effort / reward ratio?? I heard that Microsoft or Google do, but according to you, what place has the best effort/reward ratio?
- Any company - travel rewards/travel as a perk? I know United (people working there) provides travel rewards sort of a thing. Is there any other company that provides such a thing?

- Which machine learning company to invest? I am looking for companies with high risk/reward. Have been looking at HDP, cloudera, tableau, etc. All of them have their charms. Which one should I pick?
- Why do people stay at companies longer than 2 years? I can understand staying at a faang company for longer but then there are people who stay at some unknown company as a swe for 5+ years. I just see it as them chilling/slacking off, they really enjoy it and want to keep banking the cash, or they still find the work challenging. Any other reasons?
- Betting against Coinbase COIN is at $122 with P/E ~8.5. Crypto trading isn’t going away and with good potential in every aspect of finance including e-commerce and even retail. Coinbase hires top talent, its reputation for toxic work culture isn’t a problem for investors because it means the company can remain competitive
- Annual bonus payout MSFT hrweb says that you are eligible for annual rewards if I leave company on or after June 30.. Hypothetically say I leave the company on July 2nd … when will I be getting the cash rewards paid out? Immediately after I leave or on Sep 15th? Does leaving before rewards discussion with manager hav
- How are rewards at FAANG? The rewards at MSFT are always low and even if an employee performs over the expectations, they still get target rewards in most of the Orgs. If I switch company I would get a bump and stock bonus but I want to stay at a company for a long time so how are the rewards at FAANG companies? #tech #softw

- Trend to reward loyalty I hope the trend changes one day when tech companies will start giving 10+, 20+, 5+ year bonuses to reward loyalty, instead of throwing them under the bus and rewarding fresh hires. Will it happen?
- Why do people pay for Leetcode Premium? Aren't the company question lists leaked online. If people want to pay for LC and it helps, good for you. Personally LeetCode free is fine for me b/c the site is plenty, and the company lists is easily found... don't care to reward LC with money when I already pay enough time to them as it is. "Jus
- referral reward? I noticed a lot of blinders are willing to refer anonymous users here in blind, risking revealing their identity. Do they get referral reward from employer? I know MS gives reward for successful hire. I wonder which companies do the same
- Canadians, why do you still work at Canadian companies? These last 2 years or so has become the golden era for tech in Canada. Not because of any Canadian company (lol) but because of all the US companies aggressively hiring Canadians now even within Canada. So many top US companies have either satellite offices here or allow fully remote work now. So w
- Does medical device systems engineering involve any innovation? Is it intellectually stimulating I’m looking at medical device companies like Abbott, Medtronic, BD, GE Health etc. Is systems engineering challenging ? Context: I have a PhD and have consistently applied for patents and love the innovation aspect of my job. Any intellectual reward motivated me. In this context, does systems engin
- Companies that give big raise with promo? Seems like most companies will give you a promo and put you on the lower end of the band. Which companies reward loyalty by putting you at the middle of the band or higher? #tech

- vote Do I have to report income if I don’t get a 1099? I have so many different bank/investment accounts where I may get a little bit of interest, dividends, rewards. However if the rewards are <$600 for the year, the company does not send a 1099. This puts the burden on the taxpayer to figure out and report all of this income. Thoughts? TC 350K
- What stocks will 5-10x in the next 5 years? There are so many stocks that have risen 5x in the last 5 years. Including most of the FAANG companies. Many tech IPOs in last 2 years did 30x,50x, or even 100x in some cases. If you picked almost any of them and put $1M in it you’d be set for life. Will this happen again? Curious what companies ot
- Question for Google and Facebook Managers Ya'll seen the tech org chart where Microsoft's culture is rather toxic especially towards the end of the year when it's time to stack rank our employees to determine rewards and bonuses? Curious to know what the reward process is for managers at other tech companies - Google and Facebook is of int
- Our industry is broken. What matters is being good at interviews, not good at your job. Truth is there is no monetary incentive to work hard at your job. The optimal strategy is to phone #it in while studying for interviews. Rinse and repeat. Being a great engineer who cares about your work or company is not rewarded.##
- Unpopular opinion: stop rejecting bad offers from good companies I see a ton of posts here about rejecting “lowball” offers. Now, YMMV, but I’m here to offer a different perspective, at least for Meta. I took an offer >4 year ago that I quickly realized was “lowball”. M1 Engineering Manager with 600k in RSU. I met E4s in Bootcamp with close to that. Guess what
- Thoughts on why Google is losing the market cap war so badly? As of this morning here are market caps for the largest tech companies: 1) MSFT - 970B 2) AMZN - 900B 3) AAPL - 832B 4) GOOG - 794B There is no reason why Google should be so far back, especially given their sizeable investments in so many future bets. Why are investors not rewarding Google the sa
- PIP but for features not people. Do companies already have practices like this? I am sure Google does, considering how often they sunset working products. Are any companies actively incentivizing or rewarding individuals for sunsetting or PIPing low-performing products/features?
- why do you want to buy a home in bay area? Why? Its certainly not a market with booming homes and residences. Its already built and theres red tape to reduce building any further. Its laws are setup to reward those who have bought several decades ago, keeping their property taxes negligible Terrible school districts in the majority of the

- Next set of data rich companies (FAANG’s)? It’s clear that data rich companies have reaped the highest rewards. E.g.: Amazon - consumption Facebook - content consumption Google - intent/interests Netflix - entertainment With this in mind what are the next data rich companies that will ultimately benefit from A.I. and disrupt industries?
- Invasive over board contracts (NDAs) I have not worked as an employee for many years because I have been a contractor. Rightfully so, the large company I am working for with well-known client brands is cracking down on their security protocols. Their contract is super overly broad and invasive. My gauge for how normal and acceptable t
- What companies rely more on interview performance than past job experience/projects? What companies don't have a round focused on past projects? The experience I have is not very rewarding, so it's batter to not talk about it for me.
- Microsoft pip At Microsoft are managers forced to give some reports zero rewards and insufficient results? Also, are these people managed out of the company? A lot of companies do stack ranking internally for bonus pool division and because hr blocks them from giving everyone good ratings etc but I only know of
