Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.

At TikTok I experienced PSC culture for the first time and realized that it's trash. - People are shamelessly claiming multi-billion dollar impact for 100 LOC diffs. Three people claim to be tech lead for the same project. - One person claims 1 million QPS, another claims 10k QPS for the same proj...Read more

Hi all, I've been at SPG for a little over a year now, and I'm very disapointed with the general engineering level and how not challenging the job is.

It's because H1Bs ar...Read more
