Pros

Work/life balance is good but on-calls and number of incidents are still too high in my opinion. Product managers and product owners are doing a good job making sure things are moving forward and everyone has work to do. Benefits are good.

Cons

Base salary is lower than industry average and no bonus and RSU. Don't really have much innovation and rather more product optimization.

Pros

- fun culture where you get to hear talks by photographers - adopts new technologies relatively early in the game - a really great place to learn and grow as a developer

Cons

- can handle shifts/re-orgs poorly with communication, leaving employees feeling unheard and unvalued.
