Fantastic company culture and technology

Software engineer (backend)
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great working culture. Emphasis on team collaboration over individuals, and everyone can contribute to shape the company. Eagerness to adopt new technology. The strong brand attracts great engineers.

Cons

The autonomy culture enables teams, but also results in duplicate and uncoordinated efforts. Little common tooling and infrastructure. Engineering productivity is out of focus. The organisational structure makes it difficult for senior engineers to contribute beyond a local sphere of influence. Sub-market salaries.
