Pros

- good work environment - flexible work hours - on-site Gym - Stable job and company doing great - Good health insurance benefits

Cons

- Poor 401K matching - Zero vacation (advertised as unlimited vacation), no time bank accrual. Obviously no cash out option either. - Cannot take more than 2 weeks off at a time. Information not shared by hiring manage or HR during interview process. Absolutely a big no for someone like me who travel back home to Asia. - Avoid getting job in Ops, treated as foster child. Mind-set in company, "BU bring revenue, OPS is cost overhead". - Product Engineering role is technically a Program Manager role.

Excellent compensation with strong base pay, bonuses, and quarterly RSU vesting that truly rewards performance. The company moves fast with clear priorities and strong financial results. Management is straightforward and execution-focused, though the pace can be demanding. Great for those who thrive in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
