Pros

• Weekly Grubhub credit is a nice little perk. • Good flexibility with PTO / working hours. • Good level of autonomy.

Cons

Major attrition since the acquisition from Wonder.

Company culture is changing, moving towards a much faster pace. I already felt like we moved pretty quickly before, but with the recent acquisition, expectations have ramped way up and everybody wants everything delivered now, despite many teams losing people. This has resulted in significantly worse code quality and developer experience, because nobody wants to take code reviews seriously anymore. Everything has become "push now and fix later," but the fix later never seems to come.

Benefits have been cut significantly recently.

Advice to Management

Stop focusing on "delivering something by the end of the quarter," and instead focus on what we're trying to deliver and why.
