Pros

Some of the most talented and driven individual contributors Wide breadth of work available; make your career what you want it to be Lots of freedom to ideate and drive new products and initiatives

Cons

The leadership here is woeful - they are poorly trained and frequently panic Your job will involve a lot of putting out fires and emergencies because your managers failed to plan correctly Promotions and leadership roles are given out as a retention perk - people threaten to quit so they are promoted to stay. This results in disengaged and poor leadership There is no clear career pathing - negotiate your salary hard at the start, because it will not change once you are in. Your RSUs are worthless and will likely remain that way for a very long time

Pros

Decent pay, stock bonus, remote work

Cons

Mandatory overtime is the norm, and management seems to care more about metrics than employee wellbeing or work-life balance. Employees are regularly expected to work late nights, weekends, and a minimum of eight overtime hours per week (essentially a sixth workday) just to keep up with volume. Instead of hiring enough staff, leadership continues to rely on the existing team, resulting in burnout and low morale.
