Pros

Constant communication with top leadership. Very open to suggestions and side projects. Completely remote work with good pay. Constantly expanding with tons of opportunities for early members to move up the ladder. They like hiring from within for management positions.

Cons

Being a small (startup) company with rapid growth there is always a ton of work to do. K16 is very flexible and understanding though and doesn't expect its workers to work 200 hours a week.

Pros

PTO and remote first policy

Cons

- Laid off a third of the company and tripled the workload for engineers (not hyperbole, my manager's words), then cancelled all 1-1s and Officevibe. I didn't speak to my manager directly for about a year after this. - The tech stack is incredibly tedious and difficult to work with. Huge, monolithic, undocumented, untyped code base where testing a single change can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2-3 hours. - Highly proprietary stack with few transferable skills. - The position is very pigeon-holed, doing a small scope of similar type work over and over. You will not design or build new features, only fix bugs. The problems are not interesting. - No meetings or any real reason to talk to anyone at all. Its just you and whatever tickets you've been assigned. - Super tight, overlapping deadlines and manufactured urgency, resulting in many weeks far exceeding 40 hours. - The person who assigns tickets is / was not a software engineer and does not understand scope of work. - CEO is cringe, worships AI, Musk and Bezos. Says strange things in Slack and email.
