Any specific reason other than being one of FAANG ?

Amazon iskhshm Jul 18, 2020

What the hell is this weird term FAANG lol! People are just obsessed over anything

Grab (Amazon work culture is not much favorable)

Grab govu02rd Jul 7, 2020

Do you know anything about Grab culture

What is senior dev at Grab? L5?

Grab hzqG07 OP Jul 6, 2020

L4

Qualtrics wave2 Jul 6, 2020

What is L5?

Grab govu02rd Jul 6, 2020

Lol. Don't even think about joining Grab right now. Especially in Seattle, the office size has been on steady decline

Grab govu02rd Jul 6, 2020

Grab's RSU would offer nowhere as much real value as much Amazon

Salesforce wallahh Jul 7, 2020

Why steady decline? Lay-off or people leaving?

Grab hzqG07 OP Jul 6, 2020

Amazon stock is quite high already so I don’t think I’d get any advantage for that.

Grab govu02rd Jul 6, 2020

Could amazon stock double? Probably but challenging. Could Grab double valuation to 28B? Unlikely

Grab didjdkmsdk Jul 7, 2020

What time horizon are we talking about? Grab will more than double over time based just on the growth of SEA alone, let alone all the stuff the company is doing to grow and become profitable.

Amazon. Stock is on the money train.

Salesforce wallahh Jul 7, 2020

Grab is paper money while Amazon is insanely exploding.

How is Grab doing as a company? Layoffs are over..but what is their plan for IPO..

Grab grabberrrr Jul 7, 2020

Don’t think layoffs is over... layoffs just starting...

They want profitability in all divisions in all countries first. It is a ways off. Also look at current valuation vs Uber and Lyft IPOs. There isn’t a ton of upside. Maybe 2x?

Grab. Given similar total TC, Grab still has potential to grow

Salesforce wallahh Jul 7, 2020

How long you been with Grab? Is it doing good? I hear about big people exodus

Grab gsnnshanb Jul 7, 2020

Been a while, the business got impacted by COVID, but it is recovering... Seattle site has some late night call due to the timezone, but depends on your role

Grab FDGG57 Jul 7, 2020

Grab eng here. Don't come. Especially Seattle office

Salesforce wallahh Jul 7, 2020

Why???

Grab FDGG57 Jul 7, 2020

Operation heavy. Company focus all moved to Singapore. Seattle site has lost there grass since Theo, previous CTO left. Plus, given how expensive US engineer is, u will most likely have higher risk when another layoff comes. Ride hailing isn't gonna recover in any time soon, please don't argue me about this. And there r more.....
