Pros

* Strong eng culture focused on levelling up engineers * Good culture in general that encourages passing feedback upwards (and actually acting on it) * No shortage of opportunities for rapid career growth * Good balance between startup and stability.. plenty of opportunities to drive work on new and interesting problems, but without worrying about company health * Modern tech, open source friendly, remote friendly * GREAT comp/benefits * Big company focus on diversity -- not just lip service, but serious efforts with full backing * Really fun office culture (pre-COVID.. hopefully again soon!)

Cons

Still in high-growth startup mode, despite being public. That means a lot of the efforts are still in the early stages... such as diversity, open source engagement, and the career ladder. The investment in them and desire to do them well definitely seems to be paying off, but there is much more ground to cover. Similarly, the startup culture will not be for everyone. I don't mean that as code for 'hours are ridiculous' (they're not). Rather it's a culture where proactive people who find issues and explore solutions for them will get celebrated and rewarded, and people who want to have work clearly defined for them and just implement it as asked may get frustrated with the open-endedness.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
