Pros

culture, technology, benefits, compensation, surrounded by smart people.

Cons

founder comes off as quirky. Used to be more approachable, now more stand-offish in public settings around employees. recent return to office is a slap in the face to many after a complete roll out in 2022 to accommodate working from anywhere was done. This about face was based (in Dave's words) on one meeting he had during all hands week with an engineer that changed his mind about work from home. one example of several I have seen where the turning on a dime is more reflective of a lack of maturity you would see in a startup versus a public company of 2000 people. Leadership decisions and messaging needs to align with longer term roadmap so these knee jerk changes that impact many, many people are minimized.

Pros

Money is good, you get two weeks off during the wintertime.

Cons

The hiring process is beyond broken. Engineers with low emotional intelligence think they can run candidates through the wringer and take months of their time and then also reject them for breathing the wrong way, and surprise! They reign supreme at this company, so no feedback. This cycle continues, talent team feeds more candidates into the process only for them to be rejected. If you’re a recruiter or sourcer, be warned. Management is nepotistic, and only serves to carry the proverbial club of “feed more candidates into the grinder or be fired”. No one wants to improve this process. And diversity, me oh my. They promoted someone with zero diversity experience to run that team, but it isn’t the least bit important because the company couldn’t care less beyond making the driest effort at it. They’ll secretly believe “we hire the best” while also handing out a school list that they want their candidates from. There is no critical thinking here. No process improvements. You’ll be disappeared, sometimes in bulk as this last year showed. Engineers will run you with no expectation of feedback, lord knows they couldn’t hire their way out of a paper bag either.
