Pros
- People: Incredibly smart, creative, kind coworkers that lift each other up and enjoy learning together. - Individual contributors commonly share that their managers are the best they've ever had. (Same here!) - Actual ownership of work and plenty of room for creativity and innovation, which is perfect for self-starters who want to be in charge of their own careers. - Hackathons that are challenging and fun but also productive, with some projects being released to production making a measurable impact only a few months later. - Competitive pay, good benefits (PTO, parental leave are good in practice, not just on paper).
Cons
- Recent organizational shifts and course corrections have been a bit taxing, but those naturally go hand in hand with very ambitious company goals and a pioneering mindset.
