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.
Comp can be nice, depending on the stock price. Pay increases are not great
Overtime expectations, terrible management. The culture encourages engineers to chase metrics rather than do actual work.
Which is better to invest in the long run ? I see more potential in Uber, what are your thoughts?
Thoughts on Uber vs Microsoft stock growth in next 2-3 years? That usually a factor ignored during comp discussion and can make a big difference. tc : 473k yoe : 8
