      Honestly the best company I've ever worked for

      Site reliability engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      The culture here is wild, in the most positive sense of the word. The company is legitimately interested in keeping their employees healthy and mentally stable, particularly during the pandemic. - Flexible ETO (emergency time off) during pandemic - Monthly days off for mental health during pandemic - People really seem to be interested in and care for one another - Comp is great (for me and my peers anyway) - Very limited drama and "team politics". People just want to see the problems solved as a team.

      Cons

      - There's an adage that "the easiest way to get Staff/Senior Staff is to get hired into it" - Promotions are very difficult to come by, and getting harder with time - I end up rolling my eyes a lot at how often people go on political tirades assuming everyone else agrees with them.

      Great place to work on a game changing product

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compassion is at the heart of the company, both for its customers as well as its employees. Incredibly customer-centric, obsessing over the customers' experience and constantly dogfood-ing the product. Management is also always emphasizing work-life balance and encouraging employees to take time off for mental health. The perks are very generous (Since COVID, we get 1 Friday off a month for free!). Workplace is very collaborative; everyone is very willing to help out. Good vibes all around.

      Cons

      Because the company is quite young, there are a lot of re-orgs and I have had 4-5 manager changes in a 18 months.
