Pros: The work culture is very young and vibrant. It is a pleasure to work and interact with everyone. The leadership practices great transparency. The pay is quite good and there is unlimited PTO.

Cons: While on my team work/life balance is very important, there are clearly some teams that are pushed and work too much and, although their hard work is recognized, I wish there was a larger emphasis on work/life balance. There also is a large issue with career growth within the company, which you may be able to climb the ladder a couple of rungs, but anything more would likely be a lateral move to another team.

Pros: The people seem nice enough. Space has much potential. Compensation is decent, and benefits are probably OK for most.

Cons: The code-base is under-documented and disorganized, and seemingly small functional changes can easily involve dozens of files. It's also overly engineered, but in areas that aren't conducive to product health and maintainability. Working around crazy tech debt, poor practices, and dicey processes takes up more time than actual problem solving. Unnecessary complexity and tons of runtime feature enable configs used institutionally lead to many, many bugs that are difficult to reproduce. Myopic management fails to recognize it as a problem. Engineer performance criteria are inadequate and heavily favor engineers who have been at the company for many years; you need to be a rock star to break even. Onboarding is wholly inadequate for engineer hires, and it's mostly HR stuff and customer training tutorials focused on one or two product areas. You are at the mercy of tribal knowledge and reverse engineering for the initial several months. The stress of tight deadline expectations means your requests for help often go unanswered. Deadlines are often bumped forward, often cutting time in half. Gaining access to key systems is haphazard, with no list when onboarding and no clear direction on where to obtain access once a need is determined. It is a cheap version of big-name health insurance. My last job was using the same insurance company with a different plan, and non-generics cost me at least 4x more out of pocket than I ever paid previously for them. There is the familiar problem with "unlimited PTO/sick time" which is offered, but use is frowned upon. Trying to find employee resources in the intranet can be annoying because of a lot of outdated material lingering.

Pros: - Competitive Pay - WLB (unlimited PTO, recharge days) - The amount of work that you need to deliver takes your expectations as one of the factors - Inclusive environment

Cons: - Project deadlines can be tight.
