Pros

1. Excellent compensation and benefits 2. Lots of really smart people who are all generally easy to work with 3. A large portion of the employee base is unusually passionate about the product and the space relative to other places I've worked. This contributes to a strong and distinctive culture. 4. Super nice office in downtown San Francisco 5. You will definitely work hard and put in your fair share of hours, but I would dispute other reviews who say there is no work-life balance with the new leadership. Despite the fast pace and ambitious goals I would say that work-life balance is still on the higher-end, although there is some variance by team. The company is hiring at a rapid pace which should help mitigate some localized issues with overwork. 6. Strong hybrid working culture. 7. Company is doing really well.

Cons

1. 30-Day Slack retention policy and a mildly bizarre fascination from some corners of leadership with trying to use email for more than it should be used for in 2025. 2. The company tries really hard to be inclusive about its exercise culture (which is a good thing), but it's impossible to disguise that a disproportionate percentage of people who work at the company are really into running / biking / exercising and that can be intimidating if that's not your thing. If you are into exercise (as I am) then its awesome, but if you're not then I could see why it could be uncomfortable.

Pros

The main pros are that there are actually some really brilliant people who work here. They are intelligent, funny, and have an actual clear vision of how things should be done to deliver a great product to users.

Cons

The cons are that leadership only believes in and genuinely elevates white male voices. Sure, there are ERGs and prominent people of color at the company. But the real decisionmaking power is made by a combination of certain "golden boys" and their buddy, Claude. The ones driving the ship actually lack critical thinking skills.
