Pros

Great culture, great people, wonderful perks, and a beautiful office (Toronto). Absolutely love working here.

Cons

Recruiting is broken. I wish it was more transparent. It feels a bit embarrassing to be fairly high up on the ladder (staff engineer) and not have your referrals matter. Meanwhile, I interview candidates sourced by recruiting that are subpar, where my interview rejection rate is probably over 70%. It's not just me; it's an opinion that is shared by many in the company.

Advice to Management

More transparency into the recruiting process, especially referrals.
