Pros

Fully remote, allowing you to make California wages while living in a lower cost of living place. You'll work with and learn from seasoned tech industry folks from Uber, Amazon, and Meta

Cons

Company wants to be jack of all trades (meaning, lots of new unprofitable products), master at none. Since 2022 more and more of the company has been replaced by Indian contractors (HR, data engineering). And benefits have eroded, e.g. you need to pay to have a 401k now. The entire research data science team quit in summer of 2022.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
