Pros
  • Great company culture.
  • Strong engineering team with great practices.
  • A well-defined interview process.
  • A well-defined career ladder progression and process.
Cons
  • Because of the way we're structured, some product initiatives between teams can be hindered.
  • There are definitely individuals who play politics and will put one's own needs ahead of the company's. Those individuals get identified over time, but it definitely hurts in the short run.
  • The company can be a little cheap financially (not as many perks as other tech companies).
  • Not the most competitive compensation packages and definitely not enough refreshers.
