Nominally, the quarterly goals were set in a collaborative process. It wasn't possible to get help from anyone else at these times since of course they too had the same problem. This led to death marches each quarter as everyone scrambled to try to finish unrealistic goals. The quarterly cliff on the bonus system, where a feature failing to ship within the quarter specified (even if just by a single day) was counted as if you hadn't done it at all. Had I understood this I probably would have taken a competing offer that ultimately would have had much higher comp. The bonus structure promised up to a 100% match with salary, but in practice the system was set up so that nobody got more than 50%, if that. For such a small product it's very well known in tech circles so after you leave, people are impressed you worked there. Absolutely excellent benefits, including full 401k match and fully paid health care. Signal has a great mission and very dedicated staff.
