Pros

Worked with the best engineers and talent of my life, who were intelligent, thoughtful, and generous with their time.

Worked on projects that millions of users touched and used on a day-to-day basis.

Leadership made questionable decisions, but overall, they were making net positive ones.

Cons

The company focuses on generating the most revenue versus building the best product in the market. For example, we looked at Robinhood constantly, and their delight was light years ahead of ours.

Advice to Management

Please focus on delight.
