Pros

Management seems to genuinely care. They're flexible and were/have been great during covid with everyone's personal circumstances. The place is filled with super talented folks. I've learned a ton being here.

Cons

All cons are fairly typical of growing software companies: Legacy code that's hard to change and a healthy amount of process. There's some positive to the process and it's come a long way but it could be better. Coaching/learning/knowledge spreading could also be better. There's also a good amount of siloed knowledge and there aren't that many junior engineers, so the culture isn't very geared toward teaching. It seems like people assume everyone knows everything, or maybe there just isn't enough time in the day. It's also not a very diverse place but it seems like they bend over backwards to create an inclusive environment to make up for that.

Pros

Many years I have worked in this industry and the terms CTO and CIO have never meant anything other than "a person that managers technical directors". In this company, not only are C-level executives programmers but so are many of the Managers and Directors. Got a code or product question? Post it on the intranet and anyone from an Engineer to the CEO could reply (without the "you didn't know that?" attitude). Compassion for a true work-life balance, working with teams that I can learn from and assist new people during their onboarding, it all comes full circle here. Health care costs rose and the CEO deflected the cost for us. Many other mini-perks too, but the best is being part of the fastest growing technology that reaches people daily. Have something you think may improve the product? Recommend it. Your idea may be rolled in to the next release. Thinking outside the box is a desirable trait. I would recommend working here and more importantly, when people ask if I would recommend them for a job here, I think twice whether they would be a good fit. People here are that awesome.

Cons

With so many teams working very hard, getting together for cross-training is difficult. Enhance skills of current employees not only with external training, but internal cross-training.
