Pros

Opportunity to work deeply across AWS, Azure, and GCP, staying at the bleeding edge of cloud-native technologies and distributed systems.

The company invests heavily in high-level networking and team bonding, ranging from generously budgeted quarterly dinners to global events like the annual Staff Engineer conference, which recently brought the senior leadership together in Paris.

Cons

The financial benefits package is underwhelming. The medical benefits are average, and the 401k match is below other industry leaders.
