Great people. Frustrating culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
September 7, 2023
Pros: Some of the best and smartest people I've ever worked with. If you are grandfathered in on compensation bands, it's pretty solid (for now).
Cons: Drastic cuts in new salary bands mean it's been difficult to hire at the same bar as before. This also causes internal strife as some employees make way more than new employees.
History of making employee-unfriendly changes to policies, compensation, etc.
Not public so stock valuations are always suspect, making it hard to value.
Hiring mostly in the EU while starting to mandate RTO makes no sense.

Pros: Interesting, impactful work and lots of autonomy.
Class-leading product and technology.
Lots of growth and excitement.
Excellent pay and benefits: compensation aims for 10% over industry-leading tech companies.
Great people, smart, humble, and driven co-workers. Brilliant but down-to-earth founders.
Good support of remote workers, with about a third of the company outside HQ.
Cons: Still some growing pains and internal organizational difficulties.
Not a lot of work-life balance, but it depends on the team.
Not much internal management promotion; they tend to prefer outside management.
