Pros

Very happy with everything so far. Good work life balance and was recently told I need to up my PTO, which I think came down from c-suite which really speaks to the company culture. Personally have really enjoyed my work as well.

Cons

I've heard upward mobility can be tough due to limited management roles but not a current concern

Pros

Warm, human. Treat Engineers like human beings. Work has reasonable level of urgency and high level of complexity.

Cons

Poor 401k company match, otherwise benefits and comp are great.

Pros

Amazing offices, great challenges on a fast paced environment where your employer provides you of all the tools you'd expect in order to succeed.

Cons

Mandatory 3 days in the office might come as a hindrance if you are used to remote work, and that policy is really enforced with not much flexibility.
