There's a lot of confidence in employees; very little micromanagement.

You have a say in what projects you want to work on.

• Free lunch
• Smart and motivated people
• Room for career growth
• Work-life balance is great

Benefits are just okay.

Sometimes there's a lack of direction.

Engineering salaries are on the low side for the Bay Area, especially for a company with this amount of funding.

Teams are understaffed (probably because of compensation).

Up compensation, at least to industry average. There shouldn't be a struggle to reach hiring numbers at a groundbreaking company in such an exciting space. This will also keep your top performers and longstanding engineers.

It'd also be nice to have a system for employees to be able to provide anonymous company feedback/criticism without having to go through Glassdoor and the like.
