Pros

Great engineers, interesting work, learning opportunities, and growth.

Cons

Organization and priorities change a lot (at least once a year). Some text changes which can be annoying to some people. Sometimes we ignore technical debt to work on features.

Pros

- Lots of impressively smart, educated and experienced people - Lots of innovation and future-thinking - Remote work is genuine and allows for work-life balance Note: I left voluntarily and on good terms.

Cons

- Virtually no career paths - Zero employee review process with feedback from management - Lacks: tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, wellness funds - Promotes people to management who cause chaos and are generally abusive - Finger-pointing and deflecting blame is common practice - Nerd bullies are beloved and rewarded - CEO is rather emotional and moody - Total chaos overall Tech culture (especially in engineering) is already tough enough but this place seems to be reversing course with all of the improvements people have been striving to achieve over the years.
