Pros

Culture, friendly, supportive, people willing to help each other improve and call out success. Like most startups that have just listed, still opportunities to help shape process & procedure. Best suits self-starter types, those that need more guidance can struggle. Some of the smartest and best colleagues I've worked with. Healthy levels of respect among peers.

Cons

Very few, while the company acknowledges and is working on this, they still struggle in terms of communication to international outposts.

Pros

We can essentially use AI without any limit right now. The pay and compensation is industry leading but that's how they get you to stay.

Cons

The engineering organization is technologically stagnant — from CI pipelines, to sec/ops practices and overall architecture, everything is locked into legacy practices with little room for outside perspectives. Attempts to introduce modern tools or new ideas are consistently met with resistance rather than curiosity. There's also a stark tenure gap. Most engineers leave within a year or two once they recognize the limited ability to drive change, while those who stay long-term — often 8+ years — have rarely worked outside this environment and lack exposure to broader industry practices.
