Software DEV Engineer I

Hi, I am an SWE with over 2 YOE working at AWS, I got laid off from AWS a couple weeks ago and I am now looking for software engineering roles. My prior experience included managing and developing large scale distributed systems primarily in C++, but I am open to new technologies depending upon the kind of work. Currently, some opportunities are showing up at Roblox Databricks Pure Storage Stripe Square Could someone be kind enough to refer me to software engineering roles above?

    Pure is a great company to work for!! D&I could be better.

    May 24, 2023 - Program Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Outstanding people at all levels. Great culture. Strong executive leadership. Relatively competitive salaries and excellent benefits and total compensation packages. Some opportunities for growth depending on the organization you are in. Good training and certifications programs available to all levels of employees. Pure touts Work/Life Balance and firmly stands by this from my experience.

    Cons

    Only Con at the moment - Diversity numbers for Black/African-American and Hispanic employees, especially in Sr. Mgr./Director roles all the way up to Executive levels needs attention. Notice on Glassdoor there is not sufficient data showing for Black/African-American category. D&I Exec should intermittently be on Company AllHands call and provide company-wide report on progress. Also, rarely see individuals in these groups receiving formal awards.

    Lots of Politics

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Lots of work. Great learning experience. Good place to bring up the skill set.

    Cons

    Politics can be a bear. CEO brought the layoff culture with him from his previous stops. Groups are very siloed. Managers and directors from other groups will go out of their way to sabotage you even if it impacts overall revenue just to make themselves and their group look more important.
