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.

@Meta folks, what work purposes do you use your work phones for aside from checking slack and email? Are there any internal apps that will need to be used? Doing prehire and have an option to choose between iPhone 13 pro, S22, and Pixel 7 pro. #tech #meta #faang #prehire #onboarding
Looking at Slack or Discord. Trying to determine the best way to onboard folks while protecting their anonymity from corporate leadership. PS: Amazon is a shit show. If you work there, I'm curious what your experience has been. FJM
I just joined a startup with 30ish people and I got an invite to join the slack the day before starting but that's about it. My calender is empty, no welcome meeting, onboarding, etc. How do I manage expectations here? Seems like I have to chase them to learn the business... Set up to fail?
I recently joined Amazon and this is my second day of Week 2. I am still trying to learn about the work my team does, as well as finiahing week 2 onboarding. I have every day atand ups and it feels awkward to keep saying I am working on this week's on boarding. What should I do? I have 0 idea on whe...Read more

MS | Team Matching during recruitment 3. Meta | Team Match at Onboarding 4. Amazon | Team Match during recruitment 5....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 recently joined Walmart Global Tech full time (fresh from college). I am facing some troubles: - I joined a month ago. My manager contacted me a month later. Until then I didn't heard anything from him/her. - I messaged my manager / other team members (multiple times) via slack/email but nobody r...Read more
Last week I started at a dream company of mine, had a week of company onboarding and first team meeting today. I was late as my new boss had forgotten to put me on the invite. When I joined my team of 6 were talking but no one even interrupted what they were doing to say hi to me. Anyway, I want to ...Read more
I feel large companies are extremely dysfunctional and inefficient, because the average employee benefits more from pushing their own agenda, rather than helping the company. I have two questions: (1) Can you share some patterns you have observed? (2) What percentage of time do you think is wasted...Read more
I’m only 2 months in, but it’s been hell. The onboarding experience has been the worst. I haven’t had a formal reoccurring 1-1 meeting with my current manager and every time I ask about it, they say they’ll get around to scheduling it. My onboarding buddy also went on PTO so I never had a go to per...Read more
I joined Amazon for my second job, my first job was a mid size company for 3 years. The pay jump was a 70% increase so I needed that money to pay my bills and build a better foundation, I also thought it would help my resume and career goals. After being here for 7 months I'm finally happy I made t...Read more
Supposedly--and this does seem to be a common anecdote--the people hurt the most by WFH were onboarding juniors and new grads. I do think it is true that it's harder to get help sometimes over Slack/Teams/etc when you're stuck. I myself helped a new joiner with setup when we all happened to be in to...Read more
Slack was the flagship trendy chat client the last few years. Everyone wanted to get onboard, and they got away with murder charging insane prices for a bloody chat client. But now, in the last few months all I see are non-stop bugs. To list a few off the top of my head: - The client freezing/cras...Read more
Hey guys, I’m currently interning (not HubSpot, that’s my former employer). It’s a 12 week internship. I started 2 weeks ago and so far it has been a horrible experience compared to my previous interns. Currently it’s the start of my 3rd week and so far there has been: - no onboarding process - n...Read more
I joined a company 4 mos ago. It’s so fast paced there is always ad-hoc stuff as there were little to no guidelines on how to do things. On top of that I had 2 big projects which I had no experience until now and when I was assigned I thought “good opportunity to learn” but learning what to do on x ...Read more
4 months into my new job and I have yet to attend/get invited to a single meeting with my immediate team due primarily to time zone differences (I assume). Most of the team meetings run between 12 midnight- 3 am my time. I’ve asked if they can record them so I can at least understand what they’re ta...Read more
