Great people and a fun culture make for a fantastic place to work
Great people and a fun culture make for a fantastic place to work
Biggest pro: the people here are all top-notch and highly motivated, which helps motivate me to do great work too. Many engineers are graduates from top-tier CS schools, or are ex-Google / ex-Facebook. The people here are all easygoing and a lot of fun to hang out with.
Culture here is second to none. A lot of autonomy and responsibility is given to the engineers for day-to-day work. A couple times a year, we have a hack week where every engineer at the company is free to work on whatever they want.
The company is still really small and lacks some of the infrastructure you'd expect at a larger place. There aren't yet any set tracks for career advancement or mentorship for personal development, which some people may not like.
