Pros: They have good lunch perks, and their actual colleagues are nice. Most devs want to work and do things.

Cons: The work sucks. They literally lied about promo timelines, expectations, and the work in the interview and the recruiting sessions they held. It ends up being mostly dev ops work. The whole Software Platform org has lost most of its leadership and has the highest churn rate I have ever seen. More than half the people have left the company or the org of their own choice. Most managers and senior devs are checked out and waiting for their grants in March to come through and then will leave.

Pros: Good money, above market average.

Cons: Bad culture. I feel completely disposable.

Pros: If you were hired in 2022 or earlier, you'd have a great salary and remote opportunities. More recently, they've been taking the cheap route and underpaying their new hires.

Cons: Robinhood leadership always tries to protect themselves only. It doesn't feel like they care about their larger workforce, only their higher-ups. They use middle management to deliver decisions that can't be changed, so they don't have to face the grief that comes with them. They enlist budget workers, hire cheaper, and make all their employees come back to the office while higher-level employees get all the benefits of full remote work, higher levels, and higher pay. They will hire 3-4 levels lower but give these new hires work that was previously done by higher-level employees. They preach empathy but don't actually practice it, as whatever the decision from upper management is, it is the final word. It feels like it's ruled with an iron fist here, and it's really depressing.
