Pros

The work felt meaningful and that it help make a difference in other companies. They had a very solid organization structure with a deep understanding of what they were, what their customers wanted, and how they were going to achieve it. The perks were great too. Snacks galore, fun activities, incentives for getting out and being active, good medical benefits.

Cons

There was a noticeable divide between the engineering work I did and the work EBR engineers did (with us being somewhat looked down on as not real engineers). Pay, when I was there, was good, but not great. Probably slightly below market value, but also hard to say given my position and time I was there. The tech stack felt very dated, but they were pushing out greenfield work so that may not be an issue anymore. These are mostly nitpicks, overall it was great.

Pros

Great people and culture. Solid benefits, Health insurance paid 100%.

Cons

Comp is ok. Promotions are almost impossible to get. Constant layoffs, maybe 5-7 times in the past 12 months? Engineering leadership is constantly switching priorities and lacks vision, transparency, and ownership. Long-standing traditions are now being canceled, likely to save money. Poor AI posture in engineering. Engineers are encouraged to spend ridiculous amounts on AI tokens, then the company does layoffs because it spent too much on AI.
