Walking the talk

Senior software engineer

Pros

Lot of quality work as the industry leader which is on the move. Can make your own schedule and align with team. Permanent WFH with a culture built around WFH. Where it is considered normal to take time out for your well being. Apart from extra well being leaves, I love the Christmas leave week, extra allowance to work on your mental and physical health.

Cons

Technology transition is happening so you have to be on age old guards and new leaders. Less about company and more about switch to full time WFH, you really need to consider if WFH is good for you.

Amazing Work-life balance and culture

Senior software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Really good work-life balance. No crazy deadlines or unnecessary pressure, which honestly makes a big difference. We take time to debate → decide → commit on important tech stuff. Sure, it slows us a little, but it’s worth it to build big features the right way and get everyone’s perspective (which is hard to get in most places). Staff and principal engineers are always ready to help and give time when needed. People are easy to reach out to, no matter the level. 12 days off at the end of the year. A week-long offsite at a nice tourist spot. Even VPs/Directors are approachable and open to chatting.

Cons

Growth path / next level isn’t very clear. Evening meetings with the US team can eat into personal time. A lot of the infrastructure and code repos are quite old, and there isn’t a single person who fully understands them. This makes everyone hesitant to touch or make changes.
