Pros

The perks are awesome. Here, we have persons who know how to have fun. Work-life balance depends on your ambition. With overwhelming opportunities to learn new technologies, know smart and experienced people, investigate product and system designs, and evaluate and build your own ideas, I sometimes got lost in what to do in our free time, such as inDay. We are encouraged to ask the company for whatever we expect and be brave to transform ourselves. LinkedIn is an immense platform for all employees. As long as you are actively engaged, your gains will be incredible.

Cons

A little bit worried about the company expansion, which might have some negative effect on the culture. But I have the confidence that we will keep it right! We are still in a startup mode. To implement something, it might take a long time to investigate the huge codebase for what you want without good documentation and proper guidance, which slows down the speed to some extent.

Advice to Management

First of all, keep the culture from being affected by expansion. Reduce meeting time and spare enough time to answer questions from employees about engineering, product, or anything.
