Pros

Get to work with really smart people. The company will take as much of your time as you are willing to give but often people work long hours because they want to, not because you are forced to. No on call duty for engineers. Lots of transparency from exec team.

Cons

Still considered a start up so generally it means less pay but made up by having a well stocked kitchen and other perks. Unfortunately the kitchen doesn't offer nearly the variety other tech startups. Few perks offered. Operates like a big company: lots of meetings and protocols to follow.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
