Pros

Development, Test, TPM and SRE all work in harmony. Few egos, smart people and teams genuinely want to work together. Politics are minimal and the company is growing fast yet taking steps to ensure the culture remains intact. Great SF location too. Great salaries and it is pre-IPO and a genuinely strong candidate for a successful flotation.

Cons

The food isn't as good as it could be and 401k is not matched, nor do you get gym membership.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
