Pros

Historically was a great place to work because of all the brilliant engineers and marketing people. No one got in your face because they were running so fast and needed everyone focusing on the future. Salaries were exceedingly low, but equity made up the difference for the most part. THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE!

Cons

Unfortunately management could not leave well enough alone. The bean counters took over and then they beefed up HR (quadrupled in 2 years) for some reason. Management went from needing the employees to viewing them as a liability and treating them as such. Highest level managers are enriching themselves at the expense of the company's long term prospects.

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
