Minpunten
I am not sure where all these positive reviews about the healthy work-life balance comes from but it was one of the worst place and onboarding I've had in the industry. Its actually quite embarassing for a company that have been around for a really long time, astronomically high market cap, in the middle of sillicon valley, to have a really bad engineering culture. There seems to be no value for the whole organization to build a good engineering ecosystem (especially on software side). There are a lot of upper managers who has been around for a while that is pretty conservative in work culture, imposing servitude on engineers instead growing them. As for work-life balance, more than half of my team members have been working past 7pm everyday and the directory keeps spamming the chat almost everyday 11pm at night. The stand-up process is a mess where there are too many people in the meeting and no one has any idea on the scope of projects and the PM is clueless and seemed to be assigned for the role to chase artificially imposed deadline. On compensation side, there is a 1 year cliff, so if you are coming from a lot of FAANG, its pretty much a year of half salary paycut
