Pros: - Great culture - Impactful team

Cons: - Actually, I enjoyed my time at Figma.

Pros: I've been working on very interesting engineering challenges. The company is small enough so that you can have a big impact, and there are a lot of important things to build and improve on. Yet, the company has proven to be successful, has already many paying clients, and users love it! On the people side, everyone is very smart, friendly, and authentic. The response to the COVID crisis is great; they are totally understanding that this is not business as usual and provided a lot of support with no pressure. Work-life balance is very important for me since I have a kid, and I don't want to be working late often or during weekends. Even though there's so much to do, I don't feel pressured to be working extra. The leadership is also great, very approachable, and very human. In short, I'm very happy I chose to work for Figma! (and I had 7 offers to choose from :p)

Cons: I really can't think of any cons!

Pros: I've always loved tools and collaborating with designers, so Figma is kind of a product match made in heaven. For such a young product, it’s remarkably mature. The codebase is excellent, the release process is totally sane, and fires are almost nonexistent. People work hard but on a normal (and family-friendly) schedule. The engineering team is diverse in gender (currently 30% female), race, age, and experience. Projects are always impactful, and engineers work collaboratively on the product; it’s not a place where you simply implement a feature blindly.

Cons: It’s a startup, so priorities can shift. It’s exciting when you are on board with them and are okay with change, but it can be hard if you are uncomfortable with instability. Founders are young, but I've been impressed with their mature approach and resourcefulness.
