How’s the culture and the outlook? Looking at roles in the Seattle office, seems like some good people there but a little skeptical just because I’m inherently skeptical.
I know Amazon L6 SDMs hogging the title senior director there... Probably highly inflated titles.
I would stay away from we work. They're losing a quarter million a day.

It’s so brazen I’m almost compelled to have another conversation with them. The burn rate is obscene, and the CEO sounds like a moron but I’m pretty questionable myself so I can’t judge.
I work at WeWork. Don’t come. It’s a complete and total shitshow
Thanks all for the responses!
I love it here, awesome company to work for. In TLV though. SF sounds like a bunch of whiners that only care about TC, waiting to jump ship every second. NYC has very weak culture and people are total strangers to one another. Very unfortunate. I wish i would have gotten a different impression.
So maybe the company should solve this? Like what’s with the “We” in the name if they can’t make that work.
The truth is the problem is not with the company, it's with the market. I see posts of SF people from all companies, it's disgusting, just money money all the time. Not just in wework, silicon valley is an ugly place which shows and books have been written about. NY is in a similar situation only it's less about money and more about being hostile to everyone around you. Dunno why tbh, maybe it's the scale of the city.
NYC office is great, no complaints. Wlb is the best I've experienced, chill managers, modern stack, lots of stuff to figure out.
Are you under redtech umbrella?
Member experience
A dubious question form the hiring manager was conveyed to me by my recruiter that completely turned me off. Hiring Manager took one look at my resume and questioned why am I eager to leave the good situation that I have going on. I had already given my reasons to the recruiter. I explained again, but later decided to not pursue. Found the hiring manager on LinkedIn and she had done some serious job hopping with sub-2 year frequency. Culture of doubt and distrust apparently.
Yeah, people don't realize that beyond junior to middle roles, nobody really likes frequent job hoppers. Also then people end up at the position where they have the experience of a manager or senior dev, but it has been the same 2 year experience 4-6 times over instead of 8-12 years of experience. Amd thus their entire career beyond the junior year starts stagnating since their years of experience doesn't match their skills or demeanor. This problem starts getting worse since as years go on, number of years of experience keeps going up too.
What’s your point? Hop Or not to hop?
