Pros

Good compensation. People tend to leave mostly for FAANG-like companies. A lot of opportunities for growth. You get to interact with smart engineers both within and outside the company. Work-life balance.

Cons

My Tech Lead was also my Line Manager. This leads to "my way or no way scenarios". Poor communication. The work culture varies widely between teams.

Pros

Work-Life Balance: Widely praised for flexible hybrid schedules and a supportive, low-pressure environment. Standout Perks: Highly rated for its 4-week paid sabbatical program and quarterly "Days of Care" company-wide days off. Collaborative Culture: Features a friendly, ego-free workplace that strongly emphasizes a "we, not I" team mentality. Strong Benefits: Offers excellent overall compensation, including valuable stock options (RSUs) and comprehensive healthcare.

Cons

Pace of Work: Some employees note that projects and decision-making can move slowly due to the relaxed culture.
