Just got an offer I’m happy with and am curious what work culture is like. Anybody know anything?
Shitty place to work.
What’s the offer an role you got ?
What about their culture? Growth potential?
Shitty place to work. People have been quitting en mass. Culture sucks ... and growth is non existent
Engineering (core payments) attrition rate is pretty low. Outside of that, I wouldn’t be surprised if people just moved on. Company Growth was not managed very well. We are making money though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hear good thing about the engineering team of marqeta... CTO is a brilliant guy not only technically but also in terms of people management. Am I getting wrong vibes then?
I wouldn’t call the guy brilliant. He is smart, has good intuition and people skills so his decisions are mostly quick and practical. Favoritism was rampant when I was there though, so make sure you are in the circle or risk get left behind. Regarding engineering, there are people in the core payments team that are good but most are just average. It wasn’t a team of rockstars when I was there. This is not always a bad thing, but don’t expect Square caliber people.
CTO is a really nice guy... but isn’t exactly brilliant. Plays favorites.... and doesn’t really pay attention to details till shit starts breaking constantly
How was the offer TC and interview difficulty level ?
I too, have worked at Oracle. Gladly left.
One thing to note the product and tech org has changed 3 x in one year. meaning leadership and teams, it's hard to get stuff done and know one knows the priorities. If you like confusing join. If you like focus watch out. Ask them how many times they changed the org in product and engineering.
What’s Data like there specifically? Is it in the eng org?
(Ex-)Employee <10 here. Most of the original leadership is still there. The CTO isn't as technical as he thinks—brought some people with him from IGN in the early days who have similar engineering backgrounds and mindsets. This caused the original engineering team to leave in groves—early silos and politics. Would love to hear more about the current culture tho.
Read news that they got evaluated at 2B in series E! That’s quite a good position to be in. Any idea when they plan to go IPO?
TC or GTFO
