Some good but mostly bad
Compensation was good (before the stock tanked). There were some very smart coworkers. The company had a remote first philosophy.
There are inexperienced mid-level managers. Some long-tenured employees can be cliquish. There are some poor attitudes towards non-Bay Area engineers. The business model doesn’t seem to be panning out in the current macro environment.
