Great for personal growth
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
February 7, 2017
Pros: A healthy, non-competitive culture where collaboration and mentorship are encouraged. This makes it easier to learn faster from more experienced team members and for more experienced team members to develop mentorship and leadership skills. There are a lot of opportunities to work on high-impact scaling challenges to scale the infrastructure, product experience, and organization as a whole.
Cons: There are some growth pains that are normal for the current size of the company.
Depending on the project, there can be some difficulty coordinating between teams.
There is a lot of surface area to own for the size of our team, so sometimes it can get stressful.
