If you don't fit the culture, you will never be happy

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Extreme cutting edge technology(for now) and lots to learn. Good benefits package and casual dress code. CEO is very capable and is building a strong company. Good for young engineers to cut their teeth in.

Cons

Huge cliquish culture. If you don't fit in, you will never belong and will be miserable. At best you get ignored or worse, completely ostracized. Jealousy between colleagues happens a lot. People will know what grade you are and they extrapolate on your benefits package based on that. Certain personality types will not fit into the culture. If you don't fit in with the managers idea of what is an ideal employee, be prepared for performance management plans with lofty goals which you have no idea of how to attain. Poor opportunities for growth or promotion, people with the weirdest people skills are promoted. HR seems to face significant turnover and feels highly inexperienced so don't expect experienced HR to help you out. Very poor work-life balance. Made worse by a policy of literally forbidding working from home, even though the software suites and working tools makes it very easy to work from home. Strong distrust ferments among colleagues if you ever win this concession.

Pros

Innovative company working with new technologies. A lot of opportunities to learn. Teams can choose their own technology stacks - not pressed by leaders and management. No pressure from leads or POs. Good salaries. Flat structure. Wonderful work-life balance. Flexibility to work from home. Possibility to change teams internally to learn new technologies and projects. Friendly environment.

Cons

Requirements can be unclear and there is no documentation, you rely on the company culture that people will help you with what you need to know. This happens, but can also be frustrating for a big company.
