  • It's not as dramatic as some other people here who are complaining cause they were fired...

    But it's not a place to coast. There's always something to do and shipping code/product is highly valued. My personal WLB is pretty good, though those 8-9 hours are very intense. I have had a lot of fun with the projects I've worked on.

      Hey itzs9: I am fine working in an established startups where there are times things are intense. My worries if that becomes more persistent and it affect WLB, especially when management doesn’t care.

      E.g. there’s so much work that I have no choice but to work 60-80 hours per week, including weekends, for months. Talking to your manager doesn’t help and the manager may think you’re not pulling your weight.

    • What level are would you be coming in at? I think Eng managers are great, honestly and watch out for their team. Super empathetic. You also just have to set your own boundaries

    Culture is great if you like looking over your shoulder at all times wondering when you’re going to get fired without any warning.

    It’s also great if you like working 60+ hours a week where you’re expected to be available on Slack most evenings and weekends.

    It’s great if you like working on code that is thrown together as quickly as possible to make sales with no regard for maintainability and reliability.

    The culture sucks. No amount of funding will change that. The reviews are bad for a reason.

  • Usually only unhappy or recently departed people post reviews about their jobs. I would take it with a grain of salt and ask more direct questions in person.

  • Answering your question: things move fast, very top-down hierarchical set up (both tech and processes) - example: every month your manager gives you a mandatory score from 1 to 10
    I don’t see much politics , people are nice

    • Do you have an offer? you should just talk with the hiring manager Bc you seem very worried about how fair your mgr will be. Everything you’re worried about can be true of any manager at any company IMO.

      Every company I ever worked for has some performance eval whether it’s 1-10 or below expectations - exceeds expectations. each dept has different career ladders. It’s not about “close all bugs in x days”

      How have you been assessed in the past? The perf scale wasn’t at all earth shattering to me. The difference is the specificity of scale (1-10), and frequency of feedback.

      I am in the opposite: I never worked in a company that have amonthly performance evaluation. It’s usually quarterly or semi annually.

      The rating can be based on company’s / department objectives or something that my Manager AND I agreed on.

      So I just want to understand how this works. Maybe you can give me an example?
