Vantaggi
- Decent benefits and pay. - People try their best despite the state of things, so no back-stabbing... yet.
Svantaggi
The new exec team wants to achieve positive cash flow and is willing to sacrifice anything that is not visible on the balance sheet to make this happen. Look up the old blog post titled “The Rocket Behind Snowflake’s Rocket Ship” - all of those ideas have been thrown out the window: - Alignment across all functions? No one has time for that. As a result, sales teams will promise things that do not exist, and eng teams may have no choice but to ship half-finished features. - Quality over deadlines? Quality as a concept no longer exists, see the outage on 12/19/2025 (breaking change on Friday before holiday break? lol...). Deadlines have become a tool to push people into working 60 hours a week. - Bottom-up decision-making or taking initiative? Most decisions are now made by management, as experienced tech leads have already left. Everyone else is pigeonholed into a specific role. - Growing people and career progression? Too expensive, forget about it. And despite all of that the overall growth is slowing down anyway. Join at your own risk.
