Pros

Good internal infrastructure for build & deploy, confidence in infrastructure teams. My experience has been one of trust between product management and engineering. Frontend tech stack is catching up a lot this year. Recent ACR and 3-year vesting made pay much more competitive. Generous vacation policy and culture of actually supporting taking time off. Solid work-life balance. Smart, ambitious, kind coworkers. Transparent leadership. Remote, flex, or in-office work is possible, and can switch every year. I love my manager, and most people I talk to report the same experience. Strong business - company has good prospects and financials. Internal mobility is encouraged. Company walks the walk with DI&B.

Cons

Technical interview questions are extremely standardized, so a lot of candidates google them. We need to invest in a more diverse pool of interview questions.

Mission occasionally feels a bit uninspiring, though not all the time. A possible side effect of "growing up" and scaling to a bigger business: each team has less relative impact on the whole product than before.

Poor 401k match.

Engineering title inflation. We should use a level-based system – too many "senior" engineers with only 1 year of experience.
