Best place I've ever worked

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing work-life balance. Good pay. Stock options have been a gold mine. Bleeding edge technology. Work with some of the best and brightest in the industry. Management is responsive. You work for the project, not the specific manager. COVID-19 response was well thought out and the company is still moving at nearly pre-COVID speeds even with 99.9% of the workforce working from home.

Cons

They expect a lot from you. There will be personality conflicts (as there are everywhere) and the quality of your manager will determine the quality of the response. Once you get high enough in the rankings promotions are very hard to come by.

Big company resources, small company feel

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Challenging work that is making the world a better place. Refreshed my enthusiasm in the industry after being in it for over 30 years. Great cross-team interaction and you really feel like you're part of the "family" rather than a number on a sheet.

Cons

You're drinking from a firehose - so much good stuff going on all across the company it's hard to keep up with it all.
