Pros

Free lunch. Unlimited PTO. Great with partnerships and city involvement.

Cons

Everything starts top down, and they have a lot of people who don't know what they're doing taking manager roles. They're having a hard time hiring quality people because they aren't as competitive as they think they are, so they end up hiring sub par people. There were quality people that I wanted to hire, but HR lowballed them. HR talks about looking out for the interests of the employees, but every bonus (even performance ones) have a "claw back" term. No accountability; can make many wrong decisions without consequences.

Thank you for your feedback, We definitely want to be competitive with other companies so we can hire top talent. We use compensation benchmarks to make sure we are competitive within our industry, but we cannot always meet everyone's expectations. Please work with your manager and HR / recruiting with any concerns you have in the hiring process.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with modern tech stack (Kotlin, Compose, clean architecture). Opportunities to work on impactful, large-scale products used by millions of users. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates and cross-functional teams. Good exposure to complex systems, security flows, and real-world challenges. Flexible work environment and decent work-life balance depending on the team.

Cons

Some legacy code and systems can slow down development and require extra effort. Decision-making can be slower due to size and multiple stakeholders. Occasional ambiguity in product direction, especially in cross-team projects.
