Pros

- decent comp - top notch benefits - remote-first - L1 to L5 folks are pretty good (talented and kind)

Cons

- leadership (specially the new VPs of EPD, yes we have new VPs for engineering, product and design) is clueless - core: has nothing interesting to do, and engineering LT in core has extremely low hiring bar - dash: talented people, decent LT, no idea how to make people pay for dash - career growth is almost impossible specially L4 onwards unless you are buddies with right people

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
