No Career Growth, Low Pay, Gender Discrimination - Software Engineer Condé Nast Employee Review

Massive layoffs in the past few years - 50% of engineers were laid off, zero job security and pay is low especially for women, people of color and LGBT people. Good for you if you're a white male and you'll get promoted quickly. A lot of engineering managers are not competent but got to where they are due to connections with the upper management and simply because they speak up often. If you speak up and upper management KNOWS you well, you'll easily get promoted and get a raise.
