Pros

High growth and starting to get away from the "start up" mentality by hiring top level management and staff. Close-knit groups, so the ability to balance having fun and keeping things loose yet delivering at a high level makes for interesting workweeks. If you are searching for a challenge and are more than willing to and not just collect a pay check, then this company is the right fit for you.

Cons

Need to tighten up internal comm's a little more. It's gotten better and with the new internal communication platforms so 2018 will be much better.

Pros

We can essentially use AI without any limit right now. The pay and compensation is industry leading but that's how they get you to stay.

Cons

The engineering organization is technologically stagnant — from CI pipelines, to sec/ops practices and overall architecture, everything is locked into legacy practices with little room for outside perspectives. Attempts to introduce modern tools or new ideas are consistently met with resistance rather than curiosity. There's also a stark tenure gap. Most engineers leave within a year or two once they recognize the limited ability to drive change, while those who stay long-term — often 8+ years — have rarely worked outside this environment and lack exposure to broader industry practices.
