Good place to work overall, take bonus with a grain of salt

Senior engineering manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall this has been a good place to work. The company is growing, the product and teams are growing, so there's opportunity to take on challenging work of increasing scope and complexity. The senior leadership of the company is experienced and better than other places I've worked, and the new senior leadership hires all seem to be people with good backgrounds who I respect and think will level up the company. Work-life balance is extremely reasonable.

Cons

They tell you "here's the target bonus percentage," what they don't tell you is that there's also a company multiplier, which historically has never been 1. It seems based on rather optimistic stretch goals. Don't expect to get your full bonus amount.

Pros

Tremendous company to work for. Leadership truly cares about the employee base. Hard work is recognized and rewarded.

Cons

Growing pains. The company has 3-4X in size over the last 2 years. Systems break when any group scales this quickly - but entrepreneurial spirit is encouraged
