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.

I received offers "surprisingly easily" from "top tiers". Amazon L5 - offer 375k Uber senior - offer 440k Square L5 ...Read more
