Pros

* Emphasis on developers thriving * Actively working to ensure they are using the latest technology stacks * Non-profit good feels (doing something meaningful and * Remote First Work for Technology Division

Cons

* Although these are decreasing, there are still vestiges and attitudes of the old way of doing things (older monolithic database centric world, etc). Some of the reviews about nepotism may have been true in the technology division in the past, especially in the old database world, but is seeming much less true today.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
