Pros

- Autonomous - Helps each team grow and learn on their own - Transparent - It's absolutely amazing to know how transparent a company can be. They even publish financial stats as a startup even when they are obliged to!! That's how transparent a company can get!!! - Growth - With the company handling scale to a great extent, it is an amazing opportunity to grow as an engineer and be a part of a fast paced environment

Cons

Not much to be honest. If I had to just nitpick, I would say, scale has taken a very big time thus derailing a dozen of new features to be released. That being said, quality is still the highest priority. It's between getting 1 thing correct vs many things OK.

Pros

Good PTO, and friendly Wisers.

Cons

Management is totally micromanagement, and the People team does not advocate for employees; they appear present only in name. If I were in Kristo’s position, I would conduct a thorough top-to-bottom review of the entire HR department of U.S., and replace all of them. If over 70% of the Austin team would never recommend this workplace, it is a significant warning sign that needs to be addressed.
