Pros

Good pay, satisfying work, work with some of the smartest people, constant learning, work-life balance

Cons

Recent policy change, when even employees who were specifically hired as remote, even years before pandemic, are now told to uproot their lives and relocate to a central "hub" or leave the company. Which completely ruins trust that was built between this company and employees.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
