Great place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
October 28, 2015
Pros: Energetic and agile environment to work, with an open and friendly culture.
Wednesday is typically a WFH day, so you can get some peace to do coding work.
Frequent tech talks and all-hands / email updates from the board to put everyone on the same page and bring the company moving forward.
Cons: When you work in open source, you don't work 9-5. Typically, you can work or rest whenever you want. Emails get filled from time to time.
Sometimes escalation calls wake you up. When it gets to engineering, the issue is usually pretty serious and complex.
