Pros

Great group of engineers and technologies. Very engineering driven culture which sometimes doesn't work for employees looking to grow into technology management rather than specific engineering management roles. Great benefits and equity (options + RSUs). Base salary seems to be a lower (atleast 5-15% lower) than the rest of the industry.

Cons

Very engineering driven and not enough opportunities to grow inside the company. Engineers will remain engineers seems to be the motto of the company. No opportunity to work for diverse groups inside the company. The HR policies seem to make it extremely difficult to transfer out from one group to another group; that said HR works very hard for the employees

Pros

Excellent compensation with strong base pay, bonuses, and quarterly RSU vesting that truly rewards performance. The company moves fast with clear priorities and strong financial results. Management is straightforward and execution-focused, though the pace can be demanding. Great for those who thrive in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
