How is the WLB and work for software engineers at Rubrik? How much is the day-to-day stress and annual stress (around perf review time)? Is there politics? High pressure environment?
rubrik won’t be going ipo anytime soon. they recently completed funding round of half a billion
Eyeing an IPO early next year assuming conducive macro economic environment. The work environment is very startupy even at this stage of the company. Whether it's a good thing or not is up to your working style. It is a high stress environment for sure and you have to figure out how to manage it. However politics is relatively low, which I think is a genuine plus. WLB is for you to strike no matter where you work and to a great extent it's between you and your manager.
Is growth still high or you slow down
We can no longer grow at 10x and 4x with relatively large numbers. So in that sense we are slowing down. But it's still a very healthy growth. The phase of blitz scaling is over. It's sustainable (near exponential) growth now.
Ipo may be in early 2021. Not that soon
Work life balance is very bad, over dependence on contractors who don’t do anything. Managers are very bad bureaucrats.
Are you talking about engineering? At most companies contractors would do peripheral work. Does WLB get bad around the time of releases or support calls? Can you please provide some data-points when it comes to WLB? Hours, weekends. Any anecdotal stories? Also - why does bureaucracy creep in? The founders are technically very sound. So I would have expected no BS in technical decisions ==> decisions on tech merits ==> no bureaucrats..
Engineering rarely uses contractors. I have seen exactly one instance of it, so I suspect this isn't coming from engineering. Similarly, I have seen little politics in engineering. We have very startupy problems in engineering. The polar opposite of bad bureaucracy.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
Why moves out of Google?
