Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. I'm an old-timer here, having ridden the rocketship since pre-IPO - it's been quite a ride! The company culture is excellent, with kind, thoughtful people and minimal ego/politics issues. The level of technical excellence is very high, but work-life balance is also fantastic. I've always been supported when family needs beckoned, even through two pregnancies and now with three small kids.

Cons

The biggest challenge is managing the company's incredible growth. When I joined there were 600 employees, now there are >4500! It's a challenge, but I think the company is doing as good a job of it as you might hope.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
