Pros

Highlighted here already, it's a pretty good place for juniors to get enough experience and then head to more mature and better paying companies afterwards.

Cons

There's not much to say besides the rest of the realistic reviews here. Most of the 5 star reviews are from first-week employees encouraged to write a good review and tell how cool is this place. It is not. It's pretty obvious what reviews are natural and realistic, as they're triggering the Head of people to respond and tell how they're looking into the issue. So much looking into the actual problems, that nothing has changed over the year (compare reviews from a few years ago versus newer ones and you'll see that people still complain about the exact same issues). And nothing would suggest things are getting any better. Responding to reviews with the same old BS, is only making it even worse. A pretty good place to work overall, but a disappointing employer nevertheless.

Pros

Exceptionally talented team. Every IC I worked with brought deep technical skills, genuine passion, and a collaborative, empathetic approach. Compensation and equity are strong.

Cons

Senior leadership lacks a clear vision, direction shifts constantly without concrete goals. Internal competition is actively encouraged by management, which creates a toxic dynamic. No 401k match. Raises and promotions are difficult to come by once you're in, and leadership feels largely out of touch with the realities on the ground.
