Pros

- The company is very result-oriented, but it doesn't mean that result is the only thing that matters. - You're the manager of yourself: nobody will be counting the hours you "work" or the butt/seat hours you put in. - One of the company's core values is collaboration, and most people in the company will always be happy to help. - Work with some of the smartest and coolest people ever. - Work from home, or anywhere else (If that's for you, for me is priceless). - The company supports you with all the necessary equipment for your work-station.

Cons

- The company is growing a lot, even during COVID times they keep hiring people, which is great. But that rapid growth brings growth pains like some new individuals not being aligned with the company values and goals. - Some internal processes can be really slow, HR for instance. Likely due to staff limitation or the quick growth previously mentioned.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
