Pros

Pretty relaxed working environment, low pressure.

Cons

London office is pretty disconnected from San Francisco. High employee turnover. Uninteresting projects. Plenty of technical debt. Tiring on-call rotation. Inexperienced management. Not many chances of career progression or salary review.

Thanks for the review. We know we’ve grown quickly over the years and you point out some of the growing pains here. I hope you haven’t been shy about sharing this with your manager, an engineering leader or the People team. We really want to hear from you directly. -janet

Pros

Exceptionally talented team. Every IC I worked with brought deep technical skills, genuine passion, and a collaborative, empathetic approach. Compensation and equity are strong.

Cons

Senior leadership lacks a clear vision, direction shifts constantly without concrete goals. Internal competition is actively encouraged by management, which creates a toxic dynamic. No 401k match. Raises and promotions are difficult to come by once you're in, and leadership feels largely out of touch with the realities on the ground.
