Hopper Software Developer reviews

Hopper considers people as just resources and follows a hire and fire model. In some sense it actually worst than the Amazon PIP Culture. The keeper test is real. After passing a three month review period you would think that your job is now secure and you align with your manager's expectations but that's not true; Hopper is infamous for letting a lot of workers go before the one year stock vesting. You don't get any performance review or a PIP, you are just let go without any explanation. It seems like the managers have an unfair power to let people go without investing much into them. The WLB in my opinion is decent but can sometimes lead to burn out. When it comes to management there is no clear goal or strategy; there are number and some vague plans to achieve them which often change based on some meaningless experiments and premature data.

Stressful. Some teams are black holes, attracting or hiring engineers and spitting them out bruised and unhappy a short time later.
