Pros
  • Great base package
  • Flexibility to go around teams and work on different projects
  • Freedom to take the right decisions
  • Open communication (from management)
  • No politics
Cons
  • Not explicit about performance reviews.
  • Stock-based compensation (hate the box-car model).
  • Salary parity is not maintained. If you have a FAANG offer, they would counter-offer. Current employees are at the bottom range as a result.
Advice to Management

Please remove the box-car model and replace it with Waterfall soon.
