Pros

* Good compensation compared to the market * Everyone is encouraged to speak up, but in practice this rarely leads to meaningful impact or change

Cons

* Professional workflows across product, engineering, and design are almost non-existent * All teams (from design, product to engineering) frequently talk about “standards,” yet there is no shared understanding of how those standards can actually be applied * A roadmap exists, but execution is driven by constant rushing rather than structured planning * Planning and estimation are largely absent, making delivery chaotic and unsustainable * Continuous pressure to deliver leaves no space to follow best practices * Burnout is widespread across teams * Leadership lacks a clear, concrete long-term vision; many statements feel abstract and disconnected from execution * Engineering management is heavily focused on AI without sufficient control or strategy * Existing weak codebases are becoming increasingly unmanageable due to uncontrolled AI-driven integrations

Pros

Side Benefits (but at the end of the day they are negative given what it takes from you)

Cons

It's a company with a strong theatrical culture. The values marketed under the name of culture by HR have no real substance. The work itself is soul-draining, trapping you inside, expecting you to dedicate long hours, and requiring you to stay engaged with work from morning to night. It has a toxic environment, with office politics and backstabbing being very common.
