Pros

The tech stack is interesting. They use more modern technologies and languages. The best thing here is that they provide a fairly reasonable compensation package that always feels fair.

Cons

Managers are hit or miss. The organization I worked for was super hectic with a lack of communication, standardized processes, or clear goals/vision. Each meeting with my skip level had different goals that never matched the goals that the team had decided to follow. The processes also always worked against engineers, and you were left relying on goodwill. Timelines were always decided by product managers instead of engineers.

Advice to Management

Create actual processes for managing projects. Design docs need to be standardized, and the processes for launching a feature do too. Product managers need to listen to engineers.
