Pros

I couldn't be happier with my decision to join this team. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and supportive; it feels more like a community than just a workplace. What truly stands out is the management. They are genuinely attentive to the needs of the engineers and foster an environment where everyone's voice is heard. Despite the company's impressive scale, I’m amazed at the agility. Decisions are made quickly and efficiently, with zero unnecessary bureaucracy. The working conditions are top-notch, and there is a real focus on professional growth. If you’re looking for a place where you can actually build things without being slowed down by corporate hurdles, this is it!

Cons

If I had to pick something to improve, I’d say the onboarding process is quite comprehensive. There is a lot of high-quality information to digest early on because the systems are sophisticated. It takes some focus and time to get fully up to speed, but the team is always there to help you through it.

Pros

- Fully remote - Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning - Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum - You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company

Cons

- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries. - Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%. - Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US. - It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases. - If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself - Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
