Pros

Medical benefits and days off in August Products are mostly pretty good

Cons

Pay is below market. Executives reneged on remote first working policy with no explanation and no plan. Priorities are constantly shifting and unrealistic deadlines are enforced. Managers will grind their teams to dust and sacrifice quality in order to meet their unrealistic deadlines. Expect to be bullied by executives, managers, and even some team members. Expect management at all levels to make promises that they do not plan to keep.

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.
