Pros

TR offers competitive compensation and rich professional growth opportunities for the engineers. As an engineer, I find myself working on interesting technical challenges alongside with talented and motivated people. Overall the engineering culture is high and I can learn a lot from the people around me. Modern tech stack is another plus.

Cons

TR is quite a dynamic and occasionally turbulent environment. While the strategic vision, delivered by the C-level management is in my opinion future proof and sets us for success, the execution side of things is far from being smooth. Mid-term plans change quite often. I've seen people being pushed really hard to deliver for an aggressive deadline and then last moment the deadline gets pushed back by few months or the project gets put on hold all-together. Working in the product org you might experience impolite treatment from C-level leader.

Pros

1. Smart people 2. Company is growing 3. People are professional and motivated

Cons

1. Forced curve means you can work hard and be fired. 20% of the company is fired for performance every 12 months. This leads to politics, the more senior you get. Got unlucky to not work on a critical project - potentially fired. Others in the team are older and better adjusted with management - potentially fired. 2. Salary is not premium enough to justify the effort and risk. You can get a bad rating for being unlucky to be in wrong team or project. 3. No engineering leadership 4. They downlevel you during hiring and promotions take more than hard work and delivery. 5. Senior, Mid all are rated together. Very tough to get rated and promoted as a junior. Overall thankless and similar effort anywhere else would get you more scope, growth, compensation. If you don't want to work hard, then this is not the place for you. If you want to work hard, you could grow more elsewhere.

We set high standards to keep our company focused and we recognize that this level of ambition creates a demanding environment that may not suit everyone. While we maintain these expectations to drive our mission forward, we appreciate the dedication of those who contribute to our growth.
