Pros
  • Remote
  • Good WLB
  • Engineering talent and code is great
  • Managers are generally good
Cons
  • High churn with Product Management and Design.
  • There appears to be a lot of top-level decisions from the CEO, and engineers are forced to implement/pivot to work on those projects.
  • Layoffs have spread resourcing thin. Some teams have not enough engineers.
