- you've gotta work really hard and long and odd hours sometimes, which isn't a fit for everyone
- formal performance reviews aren't a thing in Eng, which some people prefer
- constant public feedback is the norm, can sometimes be a little embarrassing and feel like call out culture (engineers aren't always the best with words)
- engineering is way ahead of the rest of the company in 2025 BUT it was the reverse in 2024 and prior, so now the rest of the company is reorganizing around the lightspeed engineering is operating at
- mostly remote work means face to face time in PED is pretty nonexistent outside bi-annual offsite weeks
- flat engineering structure means no advancements/promos
- great comp but no raises if that's your thing
- diversity could use some work, its not bad but its not great either
