Great place to work
Great place to work
Amazing benefits and compensation. Work from home. Awesome spending wallet on food, tech, lifestyle, and health that refreshes monthly. Team culture: everyone is willing to help out, and senior leadership is always open to feedback. Great place to gain experience and grow under awesome engineers.
Smaller company, so workload can get kind of heavy at times.
A lot of learning by yourself when you first join.
Documentation heavy on projects. Sometimes I feel like multiple project specs (project spec, product spec, tech spec) are unnecessary; having one technical document is enough.
No 401k matching, but the other benefits are pretty good, so I don't really mind.
Try to create a better, streamlined onboarding process. It's kind of hard to onboard as a new engineer when documentation redirects to five other pages.
