She sent me a ton of helpful technical interview prep resources.

Amazing Culture, Growth, Benefits
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
March 12, 2020
Pros: The impact of what we do is great. The people I get to work with are amazing: very smart, collaborative, and nice.
There's a great social vibe. Incredible benefits (what did I do to get all this?), and a strong sense of ownership and growth.
Cons: You will have to be proactive and deliberate about work-life balance. While you can have a great WLB, many prefer working harder to advance faster. Sometimes it's easy to forget that this is a choice. While within teams it really feels like a startup that moves really fast, sometimes there's some politics when interacting with different teams.
