Pros

As the title suggests, I've had the opportunity to work alongside amazing people from all walks of life. This has had a more personal impact than I initially expected, making me a more balanced individual. The intellectual capital at this company is amazing and if you're open to learning more along with pushing yourself, then you will grow and be rewarded. I've read most of the other reviews, focusing on the more critical, and recommend taking them with a wider viewpoint. As with any company that is attempting to do something non-traditional, there is an inherent risk associated with roles. There have been some layoffs that are life-altering for many people and the last thing anyone wants. Each one is heart-breaking. Culture amongst the company and cross-function is very upbeat and collaborative. I can count on one hand the negative experiences I've had over many years and with thousands of people. The company started as a little ship and now is much larger, yet ideas and impacts can still turn it, which is amazing.

Cons

I've yet to see a perfect company and don't believe there is such a thing. Not placing this as a con, but it is a fast-paced environment and that does require quick decisive pivots. This can create unease for those who are less comfortable with change and want to know what to expect every day, like clockwork. However, this does create excitement and allows new paths to be discovered uncovering areas you can impact as an individual.

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
