Pros

Tackling some of the most interesting technical problems around. Amazingly high quality of engineers (though not as much as in the glory days). Very friendly and kind people at all levels. Very remote friendly and remote work works really well.

Cons

Can't decide if it wants to be a charity or a software company. Incompetent leadership. Lack of focus. Not a great business outlook. Salaries are pretty good in SV, but the scaling for many remote workers is pretty terrible compared to what other companies offer.

Pros

Great health insurance benefits. Literally you pay nothing per pay check. Also parental leave is 6 months which is rare in the US. Wellness days were nice too.

Cons

Lack of black people in and promoted to senior / management positions even though there are many qualified people to be there. Also management cannot make decisions. They are leaps and bounds behind the competition and many lack competence.
