[quote=maynard]Applying for similar jobs at Intuit, Active Network, Sony (SNEI). Anyone have thoughts about those companies? I’ve done my homework and have come to my conclusions but I am interested to hear what others know or hear about these places.
Interviews at all 3 in the next 5 days.[/quote]
Get the job first, then PM me and I’ll you what the comps are. It’s negotiable but depends if you’re being classified into a Senior Engineer, Staff, or Principal/Architect. Intuit most likely would pay the best, if you factor in the bonus, stock option, and RSU grant (assuming you perform reasonably well).
BTW: if you’re interviewing @ Intuit, be prepared for the touchy feely type of interview questions in as much as technical questions. Active network was more toward technical, but due to the nature of the business, you’ll get your touchy feely type of questions too.
If you’re wondering about stability, I would say, Intuit, Sony, Active….For Intuit, if you have a choice, I would either try to get into CTO office, or the CTG group. If would be slightly worried about getting into the IT dept (IIT)… In the past IIT was treated as “cost”, so it was as much cost cutting and outsourcing as possible..But that was when it was under different leadership, so it might be different now. CTO is thought of as product development so it’s better work environment. And CTG is the tax group, which you can’t go wrong there.
