If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager

Their recruiting is trash. They will ghost you randomly, and are very unprofessional.
late to the party but wonder if we had the same recruiter 2 years ago. Guy stalled between interviews forever and was very hard to get a hold of even things were supposedly progressing and then one day called me to say I had offended him because I was asking when we could schedule the last interview round.
“Let’s act like we value people and different opinions, but instead create a high school clique culture and not actually innovative in any way”
Definitely got this vibe when I interviewed there
It's chill as shit - Many midlevel engs -> hi oppty for promotion - Working on ecom/B2C product -> hi oppty for visibility - Experiment-based culture -> hi oppty to cite metrics, visibility in promotion Overall everybody is very nice, hi value on team culture, hi value on team cohesion If this is what AMZN is actually like then perhaps I will consider it :) (tho pretty sure amz culture is much more stick-oriented) I have been fully remote since I joined so haven't seen many teams up close but would say that a lot is dependent on your manager. You get some hiring time with them in the interview process (should be your first and your final interview -> and they will be your direct manager so your chance to establish relationship / determine fit etc) (for anyone reading now or in the future) feel free to DM w any Qs!
Thanks, very informational.
Hey teamo_supr, Can i dm you?
it sucks
Don’t go there - I heard that their culture promote toxic positivity. Director and above have no accountability and don’t know how to lead or organize their teams. They keep changing their minds, decisions and that creates confusion down the chain often. I was thinking to apply but a friend told me not to bother
Definitely this
Their values are very superficial. Inside work culture is same as amazon.
Is this maybe team-dependent? Because people I've met inside Etsy seem to be drinking the Kool Aid lol
Does Etsy have PIP like amazon?
