Position: Engineering Manager Location: Santa Monica Offer: $180k base with $60k sign on bonus; $180k worth of stock vesting in 3 years. Is this a good offer? How is the work culture at Hulu? Any thing to worry about after their acquisition by Disney? Current TC: $180k YOE: 12 #engineering #software #sdm
Doesn’t Amazon pay more?
Naah, just crossed 4yr mark...150k base with ~30k in stock.
For L5 SDM ?
Hey managers. Stay at Amazon. Please don't ruin the culture of other companies :(
There are already a bunch at Hulu
Hulu is messy right now due to the Disney merger. Expect more work than you can manage and constantly shifting priorities and I would imagine future reorgs. Expect a lot of attrition on your team especially in terms of management.
Issues I see are mostly internally driven - bad management is reality.
Stay away if you can. Culture is shit right now. Actually may not be that bad compared to Amazon lol
Hard choice I guess 🙄️
Attrition is a major issue here right now. Be warned. Lots of people dissatisfied with daddy Disney culture and tech shifts
Many good ICs and managers left in throngs in recent months. Hulu is left with many incompetent leaders, directors and above, unfortunately. Bad decisions after bad decisions. Morale is very low. Many ICs are waiting for their LTIPs in Q4 before bailing out. Some are greased with retention bonuses. Disney needs to revamp the leadership structure top down.
it's messy right now
So did op take it ?
Yeah...
How do you like it at Hulu?
That’s a pretty low in terms of stock.
What's the expectation for stock at Hulu/DSS?
