Fun and fast-paced culture, interesting problems to solve. The company bends over backwards to please employees. Coworkers are smart and pull their weight, with opportunities to have surprising influence even at the bottom of the ladder.

Work-life balance boundaries are largely respected, and most engineers work normal 40-hour weeks. Obvious benefits include good pay, free food, free commute, etc.

Bottoms-up decision-making leads to confusion and a sometimes tense atmosphere. The tech stack doesn't transfer well to other companies. If you don't set boundaries, the job can consume your life. Competitive environment, no guarantee of career progression. Not a good place to coast or slack.
