Pros

Remote work and decent pay. Chicago and St. Petersburg folks have the option of going into the office if they want. Work life balance can be easy to maintain if you set firm boundaries. There are the standard tech perks, like learning budgets and unlimited PTO that people actually use, and leadership encourages you to use it. There are some areas of high functionality depending on what team you’re on, your area of expertise, and who you report to.

Cons

There is a lot of churn around teams. The purpose of teams is not clear, and role clarification is not clear either. 
 There is a lot of firefighting and heroism, and people are rewarded more for their ability to put out fires than they are for creating long-term solutions. Case in point, there was a large fire put out last year and the people who put out the fire were all given bonuses, while the people working on the long-term solution was insulted and then the team was disbanded. 

Front end work and engineers are not valued as highly as back end. The culture has improved, but is still biased toward back end.

Pros

Management is very clear, peers want to see you succeed and overall it is a great hyper-growth environment. It is a very demanding and goal-oriented job.

Cons

None. Sometimes updates take forever to happen but that is more a product/tech problem
