Pros
  • Decent compensation.
  • Top-notch benefits.
  • Remote-first culture.
  • Folks from L1 to L5 are pretty good; they are talented and kind.
Cons
  • Leadership (specifically the new VPs of EPD, yes, we have new VPs for Engineering, Product, and Design) is clueless.
  • Core: Has nothing interesting to do, and the Engineering LT in Core has an extremely low hiring bar.
  • Dash: Talented people, decent LT, no idea how to make people pay for Dash.
  • Career growth is almost impossible, especially L4 onwards, unless you are buddies with the right people.
