Great WLB, remote, mostly interesting work
Pros
Great WLB, unlimited PTO is actually unlimited Great pay, especially for remote & the excellent WLB. You can get a little higher elsewhere but nowhere I know of has as good a culture "Virtual first" = remote 99% of the time with travel 2-4x/year, works great for me. Offsites are just like work vacations and are almost more for team bonding than productivity. Very very low chance of RTO since we have no offices anymore. (You can book on-demand desks in many locations though) Good benefits - perks allowance, mega backdoor Roth 401k, decently cheap healthcare Good transparency around compensation, promotion cycles, etc
Cons
Product velocity can be slow, but higher-ups try to speed up work by arbitrarily saying we need to halve our timeline right after layoffs and without a clear plan. Leadership is becoming more transparent with planning farther out, but the chill vibes from last year have still morphed into more pressure from leaders to move quickly. Slow stock growth Leadership has cut some benefits recently, like perks allowance (7K->5K), parental leave, monthly company PTO days 401K match of $6K is less than other top-tier software companies
