Pros

Everyone is very intelligent and supportive, which provides for a great work environment. I genuinely feel that the work I am doing has real world impacts, which I have not experienced in previous jobs. The company recognizes exceptional work throughout the company and awards these employees (either directly nominated by members of their team or not) for their hard work. The HQ office is amazing, and has unique quiet rooms throughout the office (and a hidden ping pong room behind a false bookshelf!), and provides the teams with a snack budget, which come's in handy when a meeting goes long or you cant find the time to take a proper lunch break.

Cons

The only complaint I can think of thus far, is that it is often difficult to rope in some of the non-HQ offices - and many team members may not be able to visit the coworkers they work with on a daily basis.

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
