Pros

+ Fully-remote position. + Interesting product and high-end features - the main product is constantly getting improved and there is no place for "boring" functionalities. + Competitive salary - not the highest on the market but definitely above average. + Setup fee - aside from a new equipment, as a new hire you are eligible for allowance that can be used on preparing or improving your work environment (it may or may not be available, depending on your location). + Highly experienced experts - most of engineering consist of people at Senior or Senior+ positions. + Great collaboration - so far I had a pleasant experience collaborating with different engineering teams (and not only!). + High-quality software and documentation - most of the teams follow Domain-Driven Design principles to produce software here and it works quite well. + Frequent improvements to engineering processes/workflows - something does not work -> it gets revisited -> improvements are proposed -> agreement? -> (if yes) gradual rollout -> issue addressed -> repeat?

Cons

- Fast-paced environment - it might be overwhelming at first but once you get more accustomed with time, it's not an issue anymore. - Frequent transfers between different projects/teams - not really my personal experience but rather an observation that every month or two, there are always a few people that are transferred and assigned to another project.

Pros

Great people below executive level that want to do their best work. Full remote work. Working with customers that actually make a difference in the world.

Cons

Hustle culture without the hustle pay. Way below market salary but executives expect top company output. Fear based. Executives pivot every week, if not multiple times a day and it creates immense thrash. CTO is completely disconnected from day to day work, talks in abstract most of the time, and when they do mention something about actual work, it's completely disconnected from the reality of people doing the work. Top talent has been steadily leaving the company. Process is whatever the executives decide that week. The current product is mediocre at best and most attempts from talented people to make it better either are ignored or when agreed upon, the rug gets pulled out from underneath a couple months later when the executives get cold feet. If you want to work at a company and make a difference, this is not the place to do it. Promotions and pay increases are non-existent unless you work 14+ hour days, amplify whatever the current executive flavor of the week is, and put your head down and just execute on someone else's poorly planned ideas. Everyone is pretty miserable currently and most people are only still there because the current job market is not great.
