Any insights in to Convoy in Seattle? Has a lot of big VC’s and CEO’s investing and has a $1 billion valuation having been founded in 2015. They paying tech market wages? How is the work and balance (if any)?
I have a friend working there. They are targeting a huge market. They also heavily recruited me but I picked Airbnb instead
What does it mean to be “heavily recruited”, exactly? Especially as an IC and not a CxO type. In my 25 years as a SWE, I can’t say that any prospective employer’s interest in me was “heavy”.
Heavily recruited means the recruiter pinged him a few times via email.
Post series C wages have come much closer to market that they used to be. WLB in product and engineering is very manageable. I usually take 4 weeks of vacation each year.
Any insight as to the platform excellence team?
Any idea what TC is like for a staff level role?
Hey fellow Lyft person also thinking about switching to convoy.
It’s weird how their HR behaves. They barely contacted me for a quick chat and then didn’t have any follow up. After a few days, I got an email saying thanks for your time. We will keep your resume on file even though I didn’t share my resume with them. So unprofessional and canned responses. They clearly don’t know what they are doing and how they should treat candidates if they are shopping in the market. Seattle is small and word gets around. Don’t go to Convoy!!
I was just contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter, I guess they’re spamming everyone (he’s yet to respond to my interest).
I can confirm that they are trying to grow 2 1/2x this year so not surprising. They need talented engineers and sales folks. They also are interested in me to run a department so I’m trying to find out more
