Pros
At the Director level, you get a rare combination of ownership and influence. Leadership genuinely trusts engineers to drive outcomes rather than just deliver outputs. There is a strong focus on building scalable systems and long-term architecture rather than short-term fixes. Cross-functional collaboration with product and business teams is improving, and there’s clear effort from senior leadership to create a more transparent and inclusive environment. The company is also investing in strengthening its India engineering presence, which creates exciting opportunities to shape teams, culture, and tech strategy from the ground up. High-caliber talent across teams makes problem-solving both challenging and rewarding.
Cons
Like many growing organizations, processes and priorities can shift quickly, sometimes creating ambiguity for engineering teams. Decision-making at times can feel centralized, which may slow down execution at scale. There is still work needed in standardizing engineering practices across teams and improving clarity in long-term roadmap direction.
