Sea

HBO is now part of AT&T. You got great offer. Great WLB and telecommuting.

Amazon iAmUgly😢 OP Feb 6, 2020

Thanks. What is telecommuting?

HBO vitamndpls Feb 7, 2020

Working from home.

HBO Boul61 Feb 7, 2020

Not all managers in SEA let you telecommute. There was a tizzy about that last summer

Good WLB. Good PTO. Decent opportunities to drive things. Downside - culture is in total liquid state from massive exec/management changes and mass hiring. Not even close to stabilizing. No idea what it will look like in 6 months.

Is HBO a good place for junior engineers (less than 1 year experience)? How is career growth/mentoring?

HBO hbo_eng Feb 14, 2020

I wouldn’t recommend it for a first job. Things are too unstable in a lot of ways.

HBO ofucwodh7 Feb 14, 2020

I agree. Some people have done well, and some teams are more stable than others. I’d stick to a bigger company with a more stable engineering culture though.
