4.0Staff Engineer · Current employee

Bar is high. So are the trade-offs.

Pros

Compensation is genuinely best-in-class at staff+. The technical bar pushes you to be sharper. Free movement between teams once you're trusted.

Cons

Big-co politics have crept in over the past 2 years. Roadmap whiplash on enterprise products. Promo bar is opaque even for senior folks.

Recruiter → 2 technical phone screens → 4-round virtual onsite (1 coding, 1 system design, 1 behavioural, 1 cross-functional). Loop is long but well-organised.
