Pros

The place to be if you are interested in Distributed Systems. Loads of learning opportunities. Hyper growth company at the moment so it makes for an exciting place to be at. Great comp and equity schedule.

Cons

WLB is really bad when you're oncall. Tooling hasn't kept up with growth.

Pros

Pre-IPO company, so stock growth expected. New hires get paid well. Interesting problem space, with smart leaders in the field.

Cons

Micromanagement all the way from the top down. This starts from the CEO and trickles down the management chain. Company and management is dismissive of WLB concerns.

Pros

Compensation is competitive and the company is poised for rapid growth.

Cons

Interview process was so long and communication was so poor that it almost certainly deters high-quality applicants. Absence of work-life balance. Toxic, self-important culture.
