Great product and compensation
Great product and compensation
Great people, friendly culture, and a great product with interesting challenges to solve.
Competitive compensation and career growth opportunities.
Titles don't seem to match up with other companies. For example, a Principal Software Engineer here would barely be above a Senior Software Engineer in a top 5 company (having worked at one).
The core engineering team is fantastic to work with, but the distribution of knowledge and expertise is like an onion. Most of the knowledge and decision-making is controlled by a few people, perhaps reflecting the product architecture.
The internal team architecture (mission teams) is too disorganized, and teams are not incentivized to work towards the right goals.
Break up the monolith so risks of any component/service failing are additive instead of multiplicative.
Improve hiring bar and maybe move towards a more decentralized team architecture.
