Pros: Free lunch Big projects Millions of users Flex and parental leave Clubs and perks

Cons: Pivots: Salary is not that good. No stock liquidity. Toxic management in some groups. Not much career growth.

Pros: Flexible work, great people, and interesting technical problems.

Cons: Some expected growing pains from hypergrowth.

Pros: - A lot of good ICs who genuinely try their best. - Office perks are decent. - Personal wellbeing allowance. - Generous access to AI coding platforms.

Cons: - Salaries are generally below market rate. Equity inflates total compensation but is not liquid. - Middle management prioritises appeasing senior leadership rather than advocating for their teams. Many seem to mean well, but they are hesitant to challenge leadership directives. - Top-down decision making is valued over frontline IC expertise. Input from ICs is perceived as negativity and a hindrance, rather than being leveraged to improve the product. - Leveling and promotion frameworks are inconsistent and broken. There is often a noticeable disconnect between levels and capabilities. Some seniors lack foundational competencies. Others are executing staff-level scope without the title or compensation. Many mid-levels are totally stuck with no path upward. A blind eye is often turned to underperformance. - Leadership demands a startup-like velocity with an enterprise-like bureaucracy. The tooling and stack are often over-engineered, bespoke, or over-complex, which is interpreted as "maturity" and a point of pride, rather than the hindrance it often is. The frontend in particular is an unusually complex, non-standard React implementation whose guidelines often enforce known anti-patterns. - On-call expectations are extremely demanding and poorly compensated. Engineers working on the backend are typically rostered one week out of four for a nominal flat weekly allowance. Combined with no time-in-lieu for after-hours standby or incidents, the system actively promotes burnout and shows disrespect for employees' personal time.
