guest: stephon parker, csm and engineering manager at eventbrite
- before hiring junior engineers make sure your team has the structure and mentorship to support them or you risk setting them up to fail
- leaders can build buy in for hiring junior talent by showing it creates loyalty and grows future staff level and leadership talent from within
- directors and vps should regularly talk directly with individual contributors instead of relying only on managers to relay information
- ship work more often in smaller pieces and iterate rather than waiting until everything is finished before releasing it
- a good performance review or termination should never surprise an employee if the manager has been consistently honest about expectations
