Pros

Engineers are exceptionally competent and a pleasure to work with! Decent benefits, great stocks, and "unlimited" PTO. Very flexible workspace. Fantastic transparency from high ups, with regular Q&A sessions. Career growth is decent.

Cons

Management is extremely unstable, and has a very high turnover rate. This has a negative impact on team culture and career growth. Product management is virtually non-existent in certain areas, which is a challenge. Also health insurance switched to United, which has way worse coverage.
