    Don’t go unless you don’t get any other tech offers. Worked there before. Very old-schooled culture, and everything revolves around the CEO. The VPs are all very old and traditional people. They try to sell a culture of tech startup becuz they couldn’t attract the best talent in the Bay but really the culture is just like a old toy company.

    While some VPs are capable, some are just brown-nosers to the CEO. E.g. the VP of developer relations is just simply incapable but always brag about how women in tech look up to her. Not a woman, but it seems none of my female engineers friend know her...

    Use it as a backup. Pay is awful too.

      Dealing with the culture for the higher pay. It'd be a good place to go for a junior person who really loved the product or who didn't mind a top down process and dev environment, but I'd tell other senior oeople to stay away.

    I interviewed there and met with the VP’s. I bowed out of the process because their culture seems shitty there. The platform VP Eng is a horrible interviewer and thinks he’s hot shit. Came in totally unprepared and didn’t know how to sell the company. The recruiting team is understaffed and is slow to respond back to candidates. Overall it’s a company with a 10+ year old stack that recently hit it big. Lots of tech debt and bad culture.

    • I think you are taking their appreciation towards other people as lack of preparation. They make people feel good about themselves and that’s the culture too. Very supportive too. I didn’t end up joining them as I joined google but I had great time talking to them. They were ready to match my google offer. I can’t comment specifically on VP but every company has old stack so I won’t worry another that. As old stacks open up so much potential for change and growth.

      Formerly known as bo'zo - I didn't find the culture supportive at all, although it came across like it would be in the interview process. I had nothing but good experiences (other than being a little slow) with the recruiting process, but in the end both having only interviewed with managers and the need to talk to the VP and CEO during the process for an IC role shouls have clued me in to how top down the place is.
