Pros: My manager at Braze was great, and the work-life balance was good. It was a great environment to grow as a mid-level engineer, and the Dev Ops experience was pretty nice.

Cons: There is some annoying legacy code. For example, the frontend was a mishmash of Knockout and React, so navigating the codebase and migrating the code was sometimes frustrating.

Pros: Good snacks, competitive pay and ok product

Cons: Mid level sales managers have as much experience as Donald Trump. Managers are all talk, and can never actually do the job themselves. The CEO who is the former CTO is one of the most arrogant geeks you will ever meet. He talks down on everyone who can't code, because he thinks that is what makes him smart, while he has zero people skills and knows nothing about life outside java script. This company is going nowhere no matter what they think. The marketing team does an ok job now after years of being paid to do nothing. Engineers continue to believe their managers about what they are building, but are clueless that these are dumb features that everyone has.

Pros: * Very smart coworkers who care a lot about our customers and product * Engineering leadership is dialed in and active in day-to-day * Good engineering practices and a desire to improve developer experience * We work with big customers everyone knows

Cons: * Stock price seems stuck * Customers use the product in unexpected ways that create support burdens. This varies by team.
