• Strong eng culture focused on levelling up engineers • Good culture in general that encourages passing feedback upwards (and actually acting on it) • No shortage of opportunities for rapid career growth • Good balance between startup and stability; plenty of opportunities to drive work on new and interesting problems, but without worrying about company health • Modern tech, open source friendly, remote friendly • GREAT comp/benefits • Big company focus on diversity; not just lip service, but serious efforts with full backing • Really fun office culture (pre-COVID; hopefully again soon!)

Still in high-growth startup mode, despite being public. That means a lot of the efforts are still in the early stages... such as diversity, open source engagement, and the career ladder. The investment in them and desire to do them well definitely seems to be paying off, but there is much more ground to cover.

Similarly, the startup culture will not be for everyone. I don't mean that as code for 'hours are ridiculous' (they're not). Rather it's a culture where proactive people who find issues and explore solutions for them will get celebrated and rewarded, and people who want to have work clearly defined for them and just implement it as asked may get frustrated with the open-endedness.

Keep down the path of the last 6 months and follow through, as things seem to be strongly trending upwards right now.
