Pros

great long term company vision, cool stuff to work on, more bold and innovation than most engineering firm, casual office feel, very smart people

Cons

extremely negative politics among employees with oversized ego, ego battles, tearing down coworker instead of building them up, vast unequal pay not based on merit, lots of gossip even for small company, schedule and design decision chaos, no diversity (almost zero female engineer), poor management of talent

Pros

Cool project and they give you snacks

Cons

They will not communicate anything with you at all and then will churn you out if you’re a contractor at the drop of the hat. Management does not give you any of their expectations and completely sets you up for failure. Absolutely zero diversity. Very non-inclusive and non-diverse environment in one of the most diverse cities - which tells you something. Zero compassion or care for employees from management. My partner had a close family member die and we attended the funeral… all that was seen was my absence which was interpreted as bad performance. (They take off weeks at a time) If you have a similar personality to them, are a white male, not neurodivergent, good at corporate speak, can wiggle into their pre-existing friend group dynamic, and can read minds - you may be successful.
