Pros

I’ve been working at the company for more than three years and overall it’s been an excellent experience. It’s a top company in its space and the level of execution and ambition is something I haven’t really seen elsewhere. One of the things I appreciate the most is the opportunity to keep learning while working with very experienced and capable people. Being surrounded by that level of talent naturally pushes you to improve and develop your skills. The company is very focused on delivering results, and it’s motivating to see the company grow, reach major milestones, and achieve ambitious goals. Being part of that journey is genuinely rewarding and keeps motivation high. There is also a strong culture of ownership and trust. People are given real responsibility and are expected to take initiative, which makes the work meaningful. At the same time there is a lot of flexibility. The company is remote-first and teams are very international, so you end up working with colleagues from all over the world, which is another great aspect of the experience. There are probably many other positive aspects I haven’t even mentioned, but overall it’s a great place for people who want to learn, take ownership, and be part of a company that is growing fast and achieving big things.

Cons

The main downside is that expectations are high, and during busy periods work-life balance can be challenging. That said, it’s also part of working in a fast-growing and ambitious environment, and learning how to manage that balance is part of the growth that comes with it.

Pros

A fast-growing and ambitious company with a dynamic and efficient work environment. Processes and bureaucratic hurdles are addressed promptly, which keeps things moving smoothly. Compensation is competitive. The engineering team stands out — highly skilled, collaborative, and genuinely supportive colleagues. There are also good opportunities for internal mobility across teams and departments.

Cons

Some productivity metrics, like lines of code or PR count. The culture favors those who prioritize work and seek big, complex challenges. Industry-standard frameworks are rarely used, which may affect long-term skill relevance. Compensation can be inconsistent — new mid-level hires might out-earn experienced seniors or leads. Team quality varies: some have weak product direction. It's easy to experience imposter syndrome, even as a strong engineer.
