It’s not a rest and vest culture. People perform at high levels. Definitely not for everyone. The pay is great, but there is high level of responsibility (especially since teams are so lean here). If you don’t perform, you will be let go (I’ve seen people with 10 years here let go).

Do you think someone who is early-mid career (4-5 YOE) but high performer may succeed in that environment? Is there a decent amount of support/mentorship from more senior employees or are you mostly left to figure things out on your own?
