Pros

This place requires no extra hours, has a relaxed atmosphere, and minimal process/paperwork for the engineers. It is an excellent arrangement if you have a family, or other interest outside of the workplace that cause you to value your time more than a competitive salary, and if you like to write code more than you like to push paper around.

Cons

You will need to challenge yourself if you want to keep growing, as the work environment will not challenge you. Very few young people work here. Salary is below-average. The reward system is a little strange.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
