      Intense, but overall a pretty good place to work - Senior Software Engineer Figma Employee Review

      Pros

      * Pay is very competitive * Feels like company is on the cutting edge to stay profitable and competitive as a business * Reasonable work culture and supportive management. Even with the issues listed in cons, have had conversations w/ reporting chain about personal needs and values without retaliation.

      Cons

      * Can be intense. Product teams expect long hours leading up to launches, and those who worked long hours are then praised for it. Many managers and leaders are obviously workaholics which sets a tone, even if they claim it's not expected of others. * Execs micro-manage projects they're interested in. Leads to high quality bar but a lot of last-minute rework, and lower autonomy for those teams.

      Pros

      * decent work life balance. I don't think there's a hustle culture per se * leadership is exceptionally smart and personable (but see issues on execution below) * humble eng team, few egos

      Cons

      My biggest shock when I joined this company was just how bad the execution on the product team actually is. I had assumed a company with a beloved product must have an excellent product org, but far from it! Seems like most of Figma's successes were accidental, or due to some early engineers' visionary work. Mainly, this company does not know how to ship AI products incrementally. Specifically the org that builds Figma AI is constantly stuck in the cycle of: * CEO gets scared by something on Twitter * Product engineers rush to build a demo for new features that'll "save the company" * Prototype gets rushed, customers are unhappy * Overpaid team of PhD researchers gets pulled in to hill climb on quality, but takes too long to make meaningful progress * Customers get even more angry * Product team adds(!) scope * The market has moved on to the next shiny AI thing * We scrap the project, or are asked to do the next, even bigger thing * ... and so on, ad infinitum, but no meaningful AI products ever ship. But hey, they pay pretty well!
