Most big companies rather teams in big companies put their employes in such a comfort zone where eventually you end up doing basic 9 - 5 job no matter how enthusiastic you were when you joined them. I have seen this happening almost with 75% new hires in my company. Assuming rest 25% being the lucky once to join some exceptional teams. I believe all big companies have few such exceptions. The problem is even if you want to work at pace get shit done quick, the process of approvals, reviews etc will make you so slow mostly because of lazy teammates and leads. Over the period this will result in average to poor bonuses - slow promotions and what not. It will be hard for such an individual to even come out of such comfort and prepare after working hours. My question is which companies have a culture of getting shit done quick and rapid? Basically which companies reward you best if you are a hard worker and can work more than an average employ, which companies would actually back such an employ? and in return can give great bonuses and early promotions. Not to brag but i really feel i am one such employ really not working upto my full potential. Note: I am not looking for startup companies. Since they cannot reward you with stocks or crazy bonuses.

Not here 🙋🏼♀️ But at the same time we are very generously paid, with the expectation that we put out 200%. Sure annual refreshers and bonus incentives are nice, but fuck we get paid a lot compared to every other industry.

What would it take to crack an interview at your company?
Do you want a horrible stack ranking system or do you want high TC? Why work hard if you can work normally and still get high TC?
My goal is climbing up quick even it takes putting extra hours. I can afford to do that since i am still in late 20s. I don’t want to be lazy ass at least at this point in life.
This workaholic culture and mentality is really degenerating. At least in the Bay Area. When I read that we start equating absence of extra hours of work to being a lazy ass I can’t help but shake my head a little.
It’s more about team than company. Almost every company have the slower moving components due to reliability requirements and faster moving teams building new businesses.
Then my follow up question would how to make sure you don’t end up being in a similar situation in your next job? Because job change is the only solution in such case right?
You mean not end up in a team that’s slow? You should know what your team is doing before joining the company, or for some companies like Facebook where teams are picked later, pick the team that’s in growing business rather in a product that’s already mature.
FB and Amzn I guess. Definitely not salesforce

How about employees that work smart...
Those days are gone. Smart workers are not always rewarded soon. May be 1 in 10 gets rewarded, but it is becoming so uncommon, that there is no motivation to work smartly/hardly
Why don’t you consider quality and reliability to be a component of hard work? This isn’t school, it’s the real world and customers want shit that works.
