A good place to start a career with lots of benefits, but it is likely you will have to work hard for it too
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
March 8, 2025
Pros: - In general, a good place to start your career, as it's likely that you will be surrounded by very smart and capable coworkers who understand the systems and the industry very well.
- Many benefits:
* Strong 401K match
* Wellness budget
* Good dental, vision, and health insurance
- Free food at the office.
Cons: Lots of things are structured around performance culture (optimizing for the current half's performance review).
Depending on the organization, there can be some pressure to get something out or to ship.
Communication from upper management or leaders can be very slow and sometimes comes as a shock.
