Pros
  • Excellent company.
  • Great engineering practices.
  • A lot of smart people.
  • Amazing benefits.
  • Progressive.
  • A lot of people genuinely care about the product.
Cons
  • A lot of young people got their senior positions from tenure rather than actual experience.

  • Next to no transparency regarding salaries. A "total rewards" document is simply not enough if you have no idea where you sit in your band.

  • Can only alleviate most benefits if you live in Sydney. I feel bad for a lot of the remote employees when eating my free lunch every day and going to free fitness classes every day.

  • Crunch time approaches when the end of the season is near.

  • Career development can largely be driven by what team you're on. Some teams only pump out features.
