Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Can get away with barely working. Very low bar. Fun employee activities and social events.
Cons: Compensation sucks, and is probably why engineers aren’t motivated to work. Management is unsupporting. Would not recommend if ambitious and want to learn.

Pros: - Great work-life balance.
- Growth opportunities.
- Work from anywhere.
- Full paid parental leave policy.
Cons: - Stock options are not refreshed every year. If you are lucky, you may get a new grant after four years.
- Yearly increments are not that great, even for hard-working employees. They tend to give everyone around a 2.5-3% raise every year.
