Pros

* Pay is very competitive * Feels like company is on the cutting edge to stay profitable and competitive as a business * Reasonable work culture and supportive management. Even with the issues listed in cons, have had conversations w/ reporting chain about personal needs and values without retaliation.

Cons

* Can be intense. Product teams expect long hours leading up to launches, and those who worked long hours are then praised for it. Many managers and leaders are obviously workaholics which sets a tone, even if they claim it's not expected of others. * Execs micro-manage projects they're interested in. Leads to high quality bar but a lot of last-minute rework, and lower autonomy for those teams.

Pros

Great culture with collaboration and respect, amazing product, good leadership, lots of optimism for the future. I used to dread going to work in my past companies on Monday morning. At Figma, I find the projects and team mates interesting and want to go and work in the morning. Figma is also fully remote, which gives me more time to spend with family compared to being at the road in the Bay Area traffic. Coming from FANG companies, I found work place politics to be close to zero. Very high percentage of people try to do what is right for Figma, which is very refreshing.

Cons

No major complaints at all. When we see growing pains, leadership is generally quick to address them. Even though company is fully remote, if you want face time with others, the Hubs are not very close. For instance, in Bay Area, I have to commute to SF to see team mates. Luckily I do it only once or twice a month, which works fine. Would love to see more Hubs in the East Bay.
