Pros

Tons of room for growth and lots of opportunity for driven individuals. Each team really is autonomous and empowered to make their own decisions. You decide the scope of your role and how much impact you want to have. Coworkers are awesome, there is constant investment in keeping our technology up-to-date and making our engineering team as productive and happy as possible.

Cons

Not necessarily for everyone. If you're just looking to be spoon-fed tasks and coast by, this probably isn't the company for you.

Thank you for helping us build a product our customers love, and I hope you attended and enjoyed the Richards awards on Friday. As I mentioned on the wiki, I'm deeply grateful to our product and engineering leaders for working with people like you to keep autonomy and transparency a core part of our engineering culture, so delighted to hear you feel it on a daily basis. I promise to work hard with recruiting to keep the hiring bar high, thank you for all that you do to help us grow! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
