Pros

Everyone is very nice, almost to a fault in daily meetings. Capable setup of tech stack Really amazing teams outside our main centers in Lehi and SF (real heroes like Find a Grave, etc.)

Cons

Horribly political. Not only do the execs dodge the hardest questions in our all hands, but a lot of strong talent is quitting and leaving. The worst is that everyone is constantly bickering. You can get a bad eval based on someone's opinion of you. Teams are like little fiefdoms of influence. Its exhausting being subjected to this.

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
