Pros

- Emphasis on tech modernization and stability. Opportunities to work with the latest and greatest technologies - Good work life balance and well planned roadmap and quarterly objectives

Cons

- Engineering pay is not competitive with the engineering model. Hard to hire top talent to begin with, and top performers upskill and then leave - Lack of RSUs/stock options/ESPP for individual contributors. Employees don't have any incentive to be invested in the company's long-term success - Frequent re-orgs with little follow-through - At times tone deaf executive team. Latest example is announcing layoffs along with VP promotions and an ensuing All Hands with a congratulatory tone

Pros

PTO, 401k match, remote work, the people.

Cons

Constant pressure to prove you’re using AI, do more with less culture, consistent layoffs and reorgs, poor communication, unclear direction, unrealistic goals all for a 2% raise. Zero chance for advancement.
