Pros: The company offers good pay, good tech, and good leadership.

Cons: The company was growing too fast and neglecting some HR problems.

Pros: A strong technical reputation, interesting architecture and opportunity to learn a lot. Individual contributors are empathetic and talented. There’s a very strong culture of operating what you build on production. Jen is an amazing CEO and role model to all. Some of the technical stuff we're building on top of we take for granted but are pretty amazing. You'll be oncall for what you build and work on interesting scaling challenges. Engineering leadership at all levels respond to feedback with decisive action. They make sure there's a team who owns each problem, and generally do a good job making tough calls about hiring and firing.

Cons: We had distributed engineering teams in mostly two cities before the pandemic, but adapting to fully remote has been hard. We have microservices and a drive for autonomous well-formed teams but it's more tangled than anyone would like. We sometimes have a bias for inaction via committees and councils. This is improving (see managers respond to feedback). We're working on diversity at the senior engineering level.

Pros: Fantastic place. Interview process is really transparent and HR people, surprisingly, are by your side cheering you up for you to shine on the interview. I love the promotions too. They're clearly detailed and you can set yourself to win by working hard on achieving your goals and get promoted. That's true because you can see how your peers got promoted.

Cons: Salaries are ok, but could be great!
