Pros
  • Outstanding work-life balance
  • Talented and passionate peers
  • Flexibility of WFH as well as timing
  • Meritocracy preferred over hierarchy
  • Supportive managers
  • Great visibility and recognition
Cons
  • Salary can be improved; it is not less, but people doing such awesome work deserve much more, especially in locations like India, where it sometimes seems inferior compared to even smaller companies.
  • Sometimes it is chaotic since most work is async and people like to take individual responsibility.
  • Help is available, and everyone is so helpful, but only if you ask; you are literally your own boss.
  • Recent higher management changes seem to be focusing more on paperwork at the cost of valuable engineering time.
Advice to Management
  • A great way to churn out performance is happy engineers. Believe it or not, a little improvement in the salary structure will make a lot of people super happy.
