Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Nice perks and pay. Frustrating seeing what gets prioritized.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Good pay. 401k matching is great.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Give up on Discover. It's not a winner.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They are genuinely nice people.

What makes you most happy at work?

I think it's at the size where scalability matters and politics shouldn't be as prevalent.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The politics and promotion process is unfair and frustrating. The tech debt reminds me of an early-stage startup, yet the slick-talking blame deflectors who don't want to fix anything are the ones who get rewarded.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Inexperienced engineers write mountains of tech debt and change teams when they can't stand their own code, leaving the rest of us stretched thin, on the hook for their services. We need to raise the hiring bar and get support from engineering management instead of the blame flowing downhill.
