Awesome company to work at, but bad pay
Tons of responsibility. Really engaging projects. Impactful. Pretty decent work-life balance.
Way lower than Bay Area salary. Unless you started before 2020, you'll struggle financially unless you're fine with 2-3 roommates.
Also starting to feel corporate with career progression. Chances are there are about 4 people ahead of you in the ladder.
Pay people better or you'll never retain anyone. Base salary is super important. The stock isn't what it used to be.
