Unlimited PTO Great work life balance Remote Company paid offsites twice per year
Tons of politics, resulting in overly competitive toxic teammates. I heard slack had good culture, but maybe not anymore. Senior leadership does not give proper support nor listen to anyone other than C suite. Really top down feel.
Can be for general Mac, IDE, Slack, Chrome, etc. No windows shit please TC 350K
Some employees are reporting on slack getting their access to internal tools revoked as of today (while its working fine for me and some others), last week we got an email about trading window being closed effective immediately. Are we about to go through massive layoffs? #roku
My previous 2 companies used Slack. Now I use a monstrosity called “Skype for business” and it’s a totally unusable mess. The UI is terrible and it doesn’t keep history of conversations properly. If you close the chat window with a person the history is lost forever. Slacks keeps the history. Slac...Read more
Been using Google Meet now for some stuff and the screenshare of window/screen is just horrible.. laggy and really pixelated text.. 😢 Probably the quality is bad because of frame rate, as zoom and slack huddle have no such issues. Just wondering if Google internally uses it too.. like if you need ...Read more
About to join Microsoft! Could I please have advice on how to succeed here? What can I do to be a good teammate when onboarding? Are there slack channels or team channels where I can get general help? What are the steps to promotion? What sorts of things should I watch out for? Are we allowed to...Read more
I had a zoom screen for a staff eng position with the hiring manager & then they are asking me to take an assignment. I completed the 1st part of it, but they want it to run in a unix environment which needs some set up on my windows machine. Is it worth spending extra time to complete this? #sla...Read more
Guys at #microsoft whoever is working in Teams, you got to make it better It’s layout is generally confusing, loads faster on mac than on windows lol Tried to use it as primary but it just feels so unorganized when compared to slack. It’s pointless having two tools for communication. Apart from ca...Read more
Had a 1:1 today, everything went as expected. We use Zoom/Slack for everything at my company. But some folks use Teams because of past acquired companies. My boss is not one of those groups. Noticed that there was a Teams icon with a red dot icon 🔴 in their windows taskbar while they shared their ...Read more
Just had to replace my Linux laptop that my old company (which got acquired). The new one has Windows, and I've seen on Slack our head of security say that Linux is "not supported" and IT's asset management software or whatever won't run on Linux. I know a couple of colleagues just wiped windows and...Read more
In 15 years, I see MS becoming the equivalent of companies like SAP or Oracle. SAP and Oracle make extremely popular software for the b2b market, but there's no innovation or excitement. The only people I know who use Outlook, teams, the whole office suite, are business people. Most people use gmai...Read more
Because of compliant stuff, screen would go off if no interaction for more than 30 minutes. I start around 9 and definitely work 4-5 hours with focus but I want to go for exercise or gym at 4 and don’t wanna do my slack offline!! It doesn’t really matter, but I know most of us definitely don’t wor...Read more

After years of using Google Chat through every iteration and product name, Google has made it completely unusable with the new gmail layout and since they've forced me into a separate window now for chat, it no longer holds the main benefit of tight gmail integration. Looking for the best alternati...Read more
Here I got some tips to make everything alright: 1. "ZFH" is the new WFH. 2. Consider using a realistic virtual background in zoom. Worth considering a window or your screaming kids as your first choice. 3. If you are hoarding food enough for a lifetime, consider staying home permanently. Winning...Read more

I received some calls in the past but I wasn't able to crack those interviews because of lack of preparation. Now I am working with a ...Read more
Amazon, Meta, Stripe, etc. will afford to continue with the PIP process because Visa workers, with no mobility options, are forced to stay at one company. They continue to slog at these companies until they get a GC or are laid off. They cannot afford to get some time off in order to prepare and jo...Read more
Just thought I would share some encouragement to others who are may be in a rut. I didn't see my career going anywhere, I was left maintaining legacy processes, picking up the slack from others who aren't bright, and when I applied to level above my current one, I was overlooked. That was the last ...Read more
