LinkedIn reviews

- Depending on the team you're placed in, could make or break you - Wear a lot of hats. Engineers are sometimes stuck doing data analysis for weeks on end, or act as product managers and come up with product features - Lots of self starting if that's what you enjoy, you will be told to find your own work. - Product managers are never responsive and are spread very thin - Upper crust engineers are exceedingly difficult to ask for help, questions, and you will feel the power dynamic. Not pleasant, and not collaborative environment whatsoever.

Excessive bureaucracy and internal politics make it hard to get things done efficiently. Access to hardware or funding for prototyping is limited and slow. Legacy culture in some parts of the org stifles innovation — certain long-tenured individuals use their influence to gatekeep and resist change, possibly to stay relevant. Raises are underwhelming, even for strong performance reviews — “exceeds expectations” doesn’t guarantee fair compensation. Management often cites “macro conditions” as an excuse. Compensation is skewed: new hires often get paid significantly more than existing employees in similar roles. The org structure is top-heavy — there are too many Staff, Senior Staff, and Principal Engineers, and too few IC5 and below, which bottlenecks growth and opportunities.
