Pros

Friendly people, friendly managers.

Amazing company and products.

Excited to be part of such an amazing organization.

Friendly work culture and collaboration environment.

Very good infrastructure and tooling.

Great perks.

Good upper management.

Cons

Competitive, stressful, and high-pressure working environment.

Subpar communication.

Bottom-up management is challenging.

Middle-level program and project management is totally lacking.

Communication in a COVID-19 WFH environment is challenging when the work culture historically was office-based.

Instability is normal: releasing to production and taking risks is actively encouraged.

The codebase is, in places, low quality.

The majority of the documentation is outdated and therefore unusable.

High turnover of staff means little continuity; the only people who stay long enough usually end up so stressed that you have to deal with people barely being able to function due to burnout.
