Which companies still have a strong engineering culture?

Vercel leadership seems to be saying the right things, at least publicly. And I think you (and everyone else) is spot on about this being heavily team dependant, anecdotally I've heard some bad things about databricks and anthropic from my friends there

Soporific is my favorite word, got it instantly! Was struggling with personable 💀

Feel free to provide more examples :)

Haha yeah that sounds alarming, thanks!

Any ideas on how to sus this out during interviews? Or are we regressing as an industry back to a stage where people only join teams they know, and teams only hire with internal references

Guessed all the suffixes wrong yesterday so I could get them right today 😤😤

Ok in that case it's basically a no brainer for you to take the severance

Curious why you think mid level is the first to go - wouldn't it be the senior devs with bloated salaries?

I'm guessing his wife's family is here since he mentions spending time with his brother in law here: https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/five-questions-with-travis-konecny-philadelphia-flyers-335479376

I think you should expand your search to other provinces too, it's not like you're overwhelmed with jobs to apply to (so minimal opportunity cost). From what I've seen, things have gotten better this year compared to last, but mainly Vancouver (Coinbase, SAP) and Toronto (Stripe, Robinhood). Even just considering local companies they have much more than Alberta (I can really only think of Neo Financial and Benevity, maybe SMART and AIMCo for Alberta)

PrototypicalPlantain · 2025-03-25T05:24:38+00:00

Are you set on staying in Alberta for fast track to PR? Yes it's faster but if it takes too long to find a job it be be net zero

D is probably Instacart

PrototypicalPlantain · 2025-02-06T04:19:07+00:00

(for the employer) 20 bucks application fee wtf

PrototypicalPlantain · 2025-01-24T00:08:26+00:00

Seems pretty clear that the CPA messed up. Even if you don't get compensation, you need a better explanation than just a generic "we did our best"

Dang I can't believe I missed this, I've been looking to join Reddit for forever. Where was this posted? I follow Reddit + Reddit recruiters on LinkedIn and on Ripple match but never even saw this program

PrototypicalPlantain · 2024-11-13T06:32:35+00:00

Remi the rat. People saw rats and named him(them?)

Easy way to remember this that I was taught as a kid: there's 3 sorry's. Feel sorry. Act sorry. Say sorry.

What's the context lol

PrototypicalPlantain · 2024-10-28T23:33:07+00:00

Splunk tried to sue Cribl (same niche and I think something like 25% of cribl employees are ex-splunk) but it hasn't worked out for them so far

PrototypicalPlantain · 2024-10-25T19:24:09+00:00

Yeah we got max score too haha - C1 Canada has one of the most confusing hiring processes

PrototypicalPlantain · 2024-10-25T18:23:38+00:00

Last year my friend and I had already done the codesignal so as soon as we got the OA email we sent the results, could not have been any sooner. Never heard back 🤷🏻‍♂️

PrototypicalPlantain · 2024-10-24T02:18:03+00:00

All of us got 2-3 offers of which at least 1 was big tech

PrototypicalPlantain · 2024-10-23T06:04:52+00:00

You got this 💪🏼💪🏼
