Software Engineer • Current Employee
Pros: - Awesome Silicon Valley perks: free breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, lots of happy hours and random activities, friendly and fun workplace in the city, and unlimited PTO.
- You get to work with top talent. I work with a ton of accomplished engineers and learn new stuff every day.
- Great product that has a big future both creatively and in terms of monetization.
- The company really invests in your success and goes to great lengths to make sure you're a happy employee. I can really tell a difference compared to my previous employer.
- Fantastic work/life balance (though it can vary slightly depending on your team and big deadlines).
- Warm and friendly culture. You won't really find the tech-bro mindset here that you might find at other companies, which is extremely refreshing.
- Emphasis on meritocracy and removing bias from decision making in hiring and promotions (unconscious bias training, carefully reviewed and thought-out processes, strong diversity initiatives, etc.).
- Top-level directors are friendly and readily available to answer questions or comments.
Cons: I notice there are a few aggressive reviews on here, and I think they are probably situational and exaggerated. The company is a startup growing into a bigger company, so there are natural growing pains/reorgs associated with that that some people may have their own opinions about.
