Pros

Great place to work with a lot of autonomy to do what matters. Fellow team members truly live out the company values CREDIT. There have been crises at times, but as with any company of a decent size (close to a thousand employees), mistakes are bound to be made and the effect are compounded by the amount of public exposure that comes with being of that size. What is important is that everyone from literally all faces of the earth comes together to work together to face the crises and learn from the mistakes, while at the same time not putting any blame.

Cons

Not really a con but rather a challenge: contractor arrangement for people from most countries can be challenging and even disadvantageous.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
