      Pros

      Remote work (although they will soon be moving to hybrid model soon)

      Cons

      - Most managers hired in the last year are not technically skilled, which results in a lot of architectural mistakes. - Developers are expected to start work on projects that are not even clearly defined and since managers are not skilled its difficult to make them understand why HLD and LLD is important. - Due to poor planning products are mediocre at best - Due to poor planning and constant changes in products developers are expected to work for long hours and make the changes overnight

      Pros

      There are some truly amazing folks that work at Sequoia. They work really hard and many truly care about the work they are doing. Even when things get out of hand, the teams band together to help each other through whatever new debacle comes their way. And there is always a new debacle. Pay is higher than most…

      Cons

      Layoffs at random with no warning and little to no communication to those directly affected by it. If you’re a manager or above, you’ve received middle of the night unhinged emails that make for an anxiety inducing day/week/month ahead. In 6 years I had 8 managers for 3 roles (2 were within the same team)…If a manager tries to reign in crazy expectations or pivots so they don’t derail an entire team, they tend to disappear. Pay is higher than most but not enough for what is expected emotionally and physically.
