Is addepar any good? Growth for the company? Work visa sponsorship? Wlb? TC range for senior engineer?
Which department?
But there is no news in market for lay offs
Company name sounds like a generic for Adderall
lol
@vMware. Weird. I don't recall hearing of any layoffs. And as an engineer here, we're interviewing and hiring A LOT. Seems odd that people would be getting laid off when we're in growth phase. Maybe your buddy got PIP'd or was a consultant whose contract was up.
It had to have been a performance issue then. The company is in the middle of a hiring surge with a goal of hiring 200 people by the end of this year. Just doesn't make sense they would lay off high performing employees while trying to grow more and hire 200 people.
Yeah agree with @jrm19. We are hiring a lot and I haven't heard of any layoffs. Doesn't make much sense.
OP: Feel free to DM me with any questions, but wlb is amazing, work how you want, from wherever you want. The perks centered around employee wellness are great. Unlimited PTO (no strings attached). Confirming senior engineers are in the $300k+ range, good base salary, lots of growth potential (comp and career wise). Company is on a great trajectory, we're all excited about where the business is currently and headed. Will do visa transfer and sponsor GC right away.
Did you join Addepar from Microsoft
I started at Addepar recently, it seems like a great company but the tech is horrible. I was warned that I was going to a finance company that wasn't tech-first and that it would be this way, but I didn't listen. That being said, the culture seems solid and Addepar does really seem to care about its employees a lot.
Be the change my bro.
Could you elaborate on how bad the tech is? I am in team matching phases and seriously consider taking an offer
Started at addepar a few months ago and initially the culture seemed great. However, I am seeing a lot of non existent/ toxic management. Some of the deadlines are top down and there always seem to be pressure to hit these deadlines in spite of a mounting tech debt. The overall coding architecture is terrible. The codebase is one gigantic monolith that should have been refactored years ago. They use one database for all their clients and are struggling to split the database apart. The infrastructure is shit. The only reason they are in bussiness is because their competitor is excel The comp is decent but the company is turning more and more into that of a bank. A lot of engineers are being hired from blackrock and Goldman and the culture is changing because of it The new CTO has been hired from blackrock and he is a very mediocre CTO at best. He has no clue about the actual work needed to scale this platform and make this platform more performant The whole org is driven by product and engineering is stuck between trying to actually pay down years of tech debt while also dealing with unrealistic product roadmaps The TC is decent but overall not the best experience for a talented engineer. Would avoid this place if you can
How about the overall WLB and their unlimited PTO policy? Are there any strings attached?
I saw $300k+ on levels.fyi for senior
Bejesus probably counting paper money with stock price told by recruiters
Base seems high tho, $200k+
