You get to work with some of the best folks in tech, at least you used to. There are interesting problems to solve at scale.
Leadership used to be highly energetic, smart people with vision. The current CEO has slowly replaced those with corporate drones with limited tech experience who can mostly run a tape loop of asking for KPIs and keep folks busy with useless tactical reviews. Innovation has basically stalled and endless slide shows of almost the tiniest details have taken over.
Cool products to work on and good experience. Remote work is easy if that is something you want.
Work just as hard as other tech companies for less money. You have to make senior or else you will eventually be let go.

Because your applicant pool is so diverse and insanely large (different experience and tech stacks), that testin...Read more
