Pros

The team is incredibly supportive and full of capable engineers who collaborate well together. There’s a solid focus on the mission, even though we're not always working with the latest tech stack. Pay is decent and competitive for the industry.

Cons

After the recent RIF, everyone is stretched thin and many of us are covering multiple roles, which can be overwhelming.

Pros

- OK initial compensation if joined before 2022

Cons

- Incompetent and idiotic leadership - Since 2024 started multitudes of programs to agitate workers across the board to quit, to avoid layoffs/severance - Rapidly decreasing QoL such as reducing workers benefits and increasing costs (commute, parking, daycare) - Zero long-term career prospect, stingy when it comes to promotions, merit increases fall way behind of inflation - RSUs are fake monopoly money to boost compensation perception, no realistic plan to go IPO ever -Implemented RTO as a form of silent layoffs, 33% RIF shortly after -Gradually outsourcing its US workforce -Performance does not matter, only politics
