Pros

Interesting product. Nice co workers. Good pay.

Cons

As the company and tech stack has grown we spend more and more time in process issues (setup tasks, tooling, broken build, trying to understand old undocumented code, secret knowledge) and less just building new features. Leadership reneged on commitment to allow remote work. Shows a lack of respect, lack of empathy, lack of integrity.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
