There are probably the best employee benefits in Australia, including free food and two thousand dollars of free stuff every year.

There is great pay, great stock options, and a lot of prestige. You gain exposure to great engineers and great, hard-working people, along with a good culture of engineering discussion. Guest speakers like the CTO of Amazon randomly arrive and talk. It is nice to be on the train home and see random people using the app that you worked on that day.

Navigating the codebase is like dissecting a dried piece of turd that has been sitting on the side of the road for 10 years, and that is basically what it is.

Especially the front end. It's horrible. It has a decade's worth of horrible dev practices at every level baked in. It is too big to change now.

Look up the "avoid prop drilling principle" on React. Prepare to see it violated on a level that belongs on the Epstein list. We're talking 20 arguments passed through every function, with five functions in a chain.

There's a reason the Reddit page is like non-stop "This stopped working" and "That stopped working".

It is 1,000 of some of the best engineers in the world using their mind to construct an elaborate maze of duct tape to hold together a rotting architecture, and they can't fix it.

They are trying to build AI features on top to stay relevant, but we are hearing the structure begin to start creaking. Every other day is an incident.

The Coach management system is hit or miss. You will regularly get coaches who are great developers, but terrible at reading people or communicating expectations.

I think you may need to bite the bullet technically speaking and think about a major rewrite of the codebase.
