Ask HN: Job offer too good to be true?
I overall enjoyed the experience of interviewing with them and it seemed like the people there were talented and down to earth, but after reading some Glassdoor reviews it made me stop and think again.
There are a good number of reviews about the company complaining about executive leadership, how the company has had a lot of attrition and hiring engineers has been slow, etc…
The offer I received from them was definitely above market rate for my level of experience, and after reading some of these reviews I’m starting to think that the company might be in a pretty bad situation that I didn’t pick up on while interviewing, and that’s why they are paying me about 40k over market rate for the base salary and being very generous with equity
I’m not sure if it would still be worth trying to work here or not, I was impressed with the people I met with and the product the company makes is related to satellites and would be interesting to work on, it’s just not very encouraging to read a lot of negative reviews before starting something. Not sure if it’s worth the risk or not for the extra money
