RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO
Pros
  • Working with some of the best engineers in the world
  • Access to high technical growth and being on the forefront of cutting-edge technology
  • Some teams better than others do invest in career and personal growth from technical standpoints
  • Stock compensation growth over 5.5 years has given me financial freedom that I never really expected to achieve by 35 years old
Cons
  • Rigorous, fast-paced environment that isn't for everyone. You'll need to execute tasks fairly quickly, and at a high level.
  • High-stakes environment where there is lots of stress when things aren't working.
