Beware of sexism

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great salary, free food, flexible PTO

Cons

Leadership is a mess and constantly changes direction. Directly impacting engineering projects and productivity. Difficult to really accomplish anything. A lot of people are just getting by with minimal effort. Leadership seems to turn a blind eye and continues to pay them to contribute nothing. You won't have a voice if you're a female. You get walked all over and people have higher expectations of you than your male counterpart.

Really well run company

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Excellent leadership, thoughtful, transparent, and deliberate -Growing fast - lots of interesting challenges and plenty of untapped business opportunities -My manager is excellent - cares about supporting and leveling up everyone -People work hard but the culture is one of "we're all on the same team"; no unnecessary pressure or breathing down necks -Really thoughtful expansion; hiring bar remains high, big emphasis on supporting remote employees

Cons

-Ruby -Because we deal with ppls money, any outside tech we use needs to go through a long security review process; often we end up building things ourselves that already exist as external products, because it's easier than getting them approved.
