Pros

You work with some of the brightest minds in the industry. Middle management does seem to care about you.

Cons

Executive level decisions have made it really hard to stay and seems like they are doing whatever they can to lower headcount. With measures such as 3+ days of RTO and now almost non-existent raises when getting promoted. Also growth is slow considering that we were told that from L4 to L5 it would take a minimum of 3 years considering we stay as high performers

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
