Pros

Kind and smart people. “Family” mindset in a way everyone connected well.

Cons

It’s been difficult to lay out the cons because I genuinely did love working here. Starting Dec 2019/Jan 2020 finances became a concern and it was obvious this was an issue. However leadership was not honest with us. Fast forward to pandemic times, people started to worry heavily and still no straight forward answer. Also they spent a lot of money renting out an empty office next door which was BARELY put to use even in 2019. Leasing in Mountain View is expensive so I can’t imagine how much money went towards that building. There was hardly any diversity in general. Not just ethnicity or gender wise. While everyone was nice and talented, everyone seemed pretty similar to another. In detail, many of the engineers went to the same school, similar past experiences with big companies, and most of them were white and/or men.
