Pros

*Very good work/life balance and culture among the employees *Competitive salaries *open time off *Very inclusive and collaborative environment *promote growth within the company and open to career changes/team changes within the company

Cons

Lay offs seem to happen more and more frequently within the company. No matter how good the work/life is, end of the day, leadership from the top is concerned with the bottom line: to increase return for investors and to achieve exponential and unsustainable growth. Management is really banking everything on a new product and frankly they are a bit delusional.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
