Pros

Senior and middle management are technically inclined. Most people have been here for quite a few years so they've been here for the majority of the lifetime of the company, leading to a friendly and collaborative atmosphere.

Cons

Benefits are honestly really bad, things like 401k, medical, dental, insurance, subsidies for gym. Pay is slightly below FAANG standards. Hiring is intense now, hopefully it doesn't dilute the culture.

Pros

Great food, knowledgeable ICs, leadership visibility.

Cons

CEO regularly makes entitled remarks and has joked about the 401k match being cut. There’s a massive effort to get milestones completed so 60hr weeks are common as is something called a “weekend push” on many weekends. Equity has been missing projections annually. You WILL be down leveled when you join, and promotions are slow- don’t believe recruiters. Director to VP level leadership is always making a try for power to make their own department look good, and consistently set unrealistic deadlines that are impossible to meet from the get-go, then justify the delays questionably or focus too much on Jira being the solution. We have all the downsides of a small company and a larger one too. Oh and the culture is becoming increasingly very toxic in all departments- starting with performance reviews, which are known to be highly subjective with favoritism prevalent, and stemming from first-level managers.
