Pros

Salary on par with market if you're junior.

Cons

No work life balance. Lack of diversity. Talks with many senior former employees have revealed that they quit partially because Ian (CTO) and Eric (CEO) literally do not care about diversity in the company. 1 in 15-20 of engineers are women? Feedback is non existent at this company. They claim openness but it's all a lie. They track how non EPD employees spend any company time (at a level similar to Amazons warehouse employees) Almost little to no career growth unless you suck up to the managers. (maybe even literally? Many EMs have been in sexual relationships with their employees? Some even in the office.)

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
