Pros

Working with really sharp engineers is great. I don't have to worry about other people following through. I can trust that feedback is thoughtful & on point. Fantastic perks, great company values that people seem to take to heart.

Cons

It can be intimidating to start. The interview process is hard & we hold ourselves to a high standard. I had some imposter syndrome at the outset.

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?
