Pros

I've been working here for a year now, and a full-time female engineer, and I have so many positive things to say - awesome working environment. everyone is really friendly, helpful, and intelligent yet humble - intelligent engineering - very unique data set: the interest graph of connections millions of users to billions of objects - great opportunity for career growth - use data to make decisions - huge impact (engineering to user ratio) - always innovating: when a process is slow/lacking, improvements are made in a timely manner - great vision - users love our product and so do I (honestly, that makes a huge difference!) - transparent about upcoming features, company direction, etc. - always analyzing, getting feedback and trying to improve - dedicated staff to diversity and inclusion - lots of other fun perks! I love coming into the office everyday and working on really interesting technical challenges.

Cons

Would love to see more female engineers join the company.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
