Pros

Get to work on some pretty cool stuff, depending on the role you are in. Usually it is easy to move between roles in the company and try out different stuff

Cons

Slave drivers, staffing is skewed, which means some roles are very hectic while others are sitting idle. Overall, you will end up working 50+ hours a week, atleast for a few months in a year. The hierarchy is shallow, which means you almost never get promoted. No fixed career path like other companies.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
