      A good salary does not justify a miserable life

      Software engineer (swe ii)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Average salary - You can be using all the technologies available, there is a great amount of freedom in that, as everyone can theoretically do anything

      Cons

      - Overworking for more than 4 months straight; weekends included - Claims inclusion, but exploits engineers - There is no bonus for extra hours - Management continues to push even when the top employees quit - Management has little or no technical understanding about quality; quality standards are not met anywhere in the company - You won't learn, as every part of the system is constantly broken. You will spend your time maintaining. - Sales driven, not technology-driven; which means 0 focus is put on engineering - The more you prove yourself to be good, the more exploited you will get - All engineers are on the "it's just the way it is at this company" boat - Before quitting I had an average 4 hours per day of meetings, and I was not a manager Every single experience in this company has been terrible for me and I know for a fact several other employees are in the same boat. The top ones cant handle it. Felt great to finally get out. If you speak up, you get fired. It's just the way it is, and it's really bad to see no "real" conflict resolution.

      Not what you think

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Flexible work from home policy (with caveats) 2. Stock options (with caveats in cons section) 3. Growth opportunities, but in an unhealthy way

      Cons

      1. Pay is average at best considering the standards they set during the interview process 2. Chaotic project management means timelines slip and they expect that since you work from home, you should be answering messages (and sometimes working) well into the evening with no overtime pay. 3. They offer some paltry stock options with 5+ year vesting and at pretty high valuations, which means the value there is slim to none. 4. This is related to why stock options are kinda pointless. Turnover is really high. I've seen teams disintegrate in a matter of a couple months and several people in middle management left this past year. They've spent months looking for several positions that still remain unfilled. Some people get promoted into management positions simply because they're the only one of the team that didn't leave. If you want a promotion without really working for it, just join Ipsy and take it easy for a year or two, you'll easily fail upwards as long as you stick around.
