Some smart people who have been here 4 or 5 years and are great to learn from. The engineering culture set by senior engineers is good but it's not supported by engineering management which is unfortunate. The new CEO lets people do their jobs and does not interrupt or embarrass them.
Engineering Managers are highly variable, some try and build careers for people and promote them while others have no idea how to manage people and treat them as disposable. Compensation is significantly below market and the retention bonuses for engineers are a joke. The VP of People has no idea how to manage people in a tech company despite the former CEO stressing how she was an A player at Netflix. During the recent company in person meeting, the VP of Engineering set policies different to the rest of the company but told his managers to not say it came from him which came out in the middle of a bar when attending a gathering of people who were not in engineering. Everyone is required to be oncall, including when pregnant. The last CEO would argue spelling with employees during their presentations to the company.

I was a happy Vanguard user for years, then jumped Betterment a couple of years ago. Now, I’m having reservations. Other than Tax Loss Harvesting, I can’t see how Betterment is better. I can’t see how Wealthfront is any better either. Am I missing something? The main thing the Robo-Advisors seem to...Read more
Wealthfront offers me a $50k loan at a 5% apr. Should I take advantage of it to increase my market position? I have a very low monthly cost structure and save 50% of my income. So I'd have no problem in paying back this very fast. TC 250 #investing #stock
