Pros: - Smart people, but generally humble and collaborative - Interesting technical challenges - Willingness to experiment with new tech - Work-life balance (flexible hours, can work from home, etc.) - DevOps is really a thing here - you're on-call for what you build - Fun culture (free lunch, beer, company events) - Management that genuinely cares about employees - Leadership is trending in the right direction since new CEO joined - Opportunity for technical career advancement - Progressive company values - Generous training budget (conferences etc.) - I am genuinely happy to come to work every day.

Cons: - Varying technical debt between different teams - Org can be somewhat product-driven, at the expense of doing things right (this is a more recent change, and there are signs it might be correcting) - It seems that some engineering teams are under more pressure than others, leading to some recent turnover (also due to product focus) - Hiring is a bit of a mess recently, leading to understaffed teams

Pros: The company is doing interesting work building on an already successful platform and modernizing at a good pace. Everyone is very friendly even cross-department and they’re mindful of inclusivity and equality.

Cons: There’s more work than there are people to do it. Architectural principles seem to have been neglected for some time, though they’re now working to improve the situation. Most training and workshops are hoarded for a once yearly internal conference. They’ve also completely changed the promotion evaluation process so growth opportunities seem less attainable and personal priorities toward them unclear.

Pros: Great culture! Coming from startup and unicorn land, it's very refreshing to be at a company that values good communication and teamwork over "rockstars" and cowboy coders. I've not encountered a single big ego here - instead, everyone is always willing to answer questions patiently and without judgement. This is also the most trustworthy leadership I've ever worked under - I feel taken care of as an employee and I trust that they're taking us in a good direction. This is also the most diverse group I've ever worked with - especially with the outstanding (for tech) female:male ratio in engineering. They also seem to be all about promoting from within - so there is a lot of opportunity for career growth here for engineers.

Cons: Sometimes processes can be better documented, but I think that's just part of being a quickly growing company. Management are great people - but I've noticed they're stretched a little thin sometimes.
