Great before IPO, but has lost its charm after the crash

Business Outlook

Pros

- A good place to get RoR experience - Remote friendly - Some smart folks, though that's changing

Cons

- Business has suffered greatly with high interest rates and lack of adaptation - equity compensation very poor for most who joined after IPO - Becoming very ex-Amazon heavy - Amazon on the resume is nearly a requirement now - Lots of projects that lack value - building things fast to keep everyone busy and feed the "speed habit" - Financial rewards are very top-heavy - too much for the leadership, too little for the folks who build the product
