Pros

Good colleagues who are very technically competent, a lot of opportunities to grow your technical capabilities. A lot of employee engagement initiatives, including sports and interest groups. Despite my criticism I would still suggest spending some time working here to learn from colleagues.

Cons

Senior leadership doesn’t inspire confidence, they say questionable things (like promoting inter office relationships, suggesting that employees should be pushing for 12 hour days). During promotion review they give very poor feedback, apparently the CTO looks at your number of commits as an indication of your performance. Most senior management seem like young people who got promoted fast when the company was small and starting out. Lots of changes in team structure that are made quickly and then reverted, this makes it hard to progress in your career. Churn rate is very high.

Pros

Individual team culture is good depending on leader. Unlimited PTO, good benefits.

Cons

Leadership is unclear in direction. Giving arbitrary guidance on AI usage or RTO without context. Innovation is dead, growth by acquisition is their playbook. This means almost annual RIFs and teams being overworked.
