Lots of competent colleagues; you will work with good engineers who can get things done. The infra is pretty good which enables you to be productive. Perks are great and all-cash compensation is pretty nice too.
Management in engineering is so-so from my experience, really good explicit communication but also not willing to put the right process in place to make planning and execution as efficient as it could be. The company is changing a lot right now as it transitions from the old no-level world to a more typical organization with lots of juniors, fair number of seniors, and a few staff+. I think the change will be for the best in the long run but the culture hasn't quite adapted yet.

Only public companies accepted (or super close to IPO), I'll start the list: Facebook Google (maybe) Snap Stripe (maybe, but shi1ty offer packages since no more 4 year vesting) Uber Netflix Airbnb Pinterest Who else?
I'm lucky to have incoming offers from Airbnb and Netflix. I've never worked for a pre-IPO company before, so I'm not sure how to properly value the Airbnb offer. Suppose the TC is equivalent: Airbnb is paper money with a promise of cash in the imminent future, and Netflix is cash right now. Airb...Read more

Title says it all. Do you guys think FAANGM stocks going to beat expectations? Would be interesting to see new IPO stocks. Is shorting Uber, Amazon and Netflix a good idea? TC: 290k
Folks who joined today’s largest companies (eg FANG, stripe, netflix, etc) when they were (<1000 people) startups. Teach me your ways. Looking back what can you say about your ride: * Did you know you were joining a crazy mothership? * How did you come across the job opportunity? #ipo #faang
