Pros
  • Really great people to work with (very smart and friendly).
  • Fun and energizing office vibe.
  • Good learning and health benefits.
Cons
  • You don't feel like you are part of the company.
  • Product management does not engage with engineering.
  • Career progression feels very slow.
    • Reviews are every year, and it is difficult to push that to be quicker.
    • You will often need to work on things that don't feel like a growth opportunity.
    • Definitely felt like it had gone very downhill over the past two years.
