      Not the place it used to be

      Senior principal software engineer
      Current employee
      Vancouver, BC
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great benefits (medical, holidays, flexibility in taking time off, etc) - Good work/life balance - Good compensation

      Cons

      - Since company went public slowly becoming more and more bureaucratic and management focused - Top down management, Very little time to work on things you and your team feel are important. You are basically told what to do, pretty much at all levels from junior to very senior. - There seems to be a culture around senior management doing whatever it takes to please the CEO and there seems to be a fear around interacting with the CEO & VPs. (Lots of office hours, demos, and basically time spent on throw away work to demonstrate things to the CEO and VPs) - The process of doing something (adding a feature or optimizing something) takes incredibly long and there are many process steps, like unbelievably long. The pacing of development is slowing down more and more as the company gets older.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      culture, technology, benefits, compensation, surrounded by smart people.

      Cons

      founder comes off as quirky. Used to be more approachable, now more stand-offish in public settings around employees. recent return to office is a slap in the face to many after a complete roll out in 2022 to accommodate working from anywhere was done. This about face was based (in Dave's words) on one meeting he had during all hands week with an engineer that changed his mind about work from home. one example of several I have seen where the turning on a dime is more reflective of a lack of maturity you would see in a startup versus a public company of 2000 people. Leadership decisions and messaging needs to align with longer term roadmap so these knee jerk changes that impact many, many people are minimized.

      Save yourself!

      Pros

      The pay and benefits are pretty damn good, but, it ends there. Also met a few super talented smart coworkers who I will stay in touch with.

      Cons

      Don’t know where to start outside of there are too many to list. The job and company many of us were sold on years ago is nothing like what you really live once you’re on the inside. Political, rife with micromanagement, zero direction from a leadership perspective, no career growth opportunities unless you’re liked by the right people in leadership, etc. I have never worked anywhere that reinvented the wheel so much either, the lack of organization planning and strategy is baffling. All the employees don’t have any faith in leadership except for a few who have been there for many years and have been promoted so many times they can’t complain. I’d stay as far away as possible to save your sanity.
