Very talented people. Always growing and learning new things because the bar is alway raising.

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, benefits, up-to-date tech.

Cons

All-in on AI with no rudder. Odd for a tech firm. Top-10/Bottom-10 culture pits employees against each other, encourages silos and disincentive to better others unless it is highly visible
