GoodRx's unlimited PTO is really and really nice.
The engineering organization is just a mess. Decisions are made haphazardly and then reversed. There's no consistency. Executives try to act like architects, while architects are all AWOL. Every decision is a political battle.
Engineering culture at GoodRx needs a massive overhaul. The main components I would recommend are: 1. Eliminate waterfall-type development methods, particularly 'inceptions' 2. Give teams real autonomy. Right now every team is strangled by executive meddling and stakeholder overload.
Engineering leadership at GoodRx really just... doesn't know what they are doing. Decision making is chaotic. Executives are constantly micromanaging. Nothing ever gets done. My advice for the execs: step back. Your job is hiring people and building culture, not building software.
