Pros

- One of the most respectful employer in tech industry: management/leadership team truly care about the employees. - Company size is big but not too big: diverse roles and large-impact responsibilities. created great career growth opportunities - Being respectful and inclusive is part of the company culture. - Fully remote enables you to work from where you want. - Great work-life balance gave me enough time to spend with my family. - Decent/Competitive compensation compared to the rest of the industry. - Most of my coworkers are parents who understand the challenges outside work

Cons

- Still have many technical debts from early startup age - If challenges from Google-scale of traffic is what you're looking for: we don't have that level of scale. However, our scale is a lot more than most of the companies in the industry. - responsibilities and staffing / resources are not always balanced. leading to more than average amount of thrash for some less-resourced teams. - stock has been very volatile

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
