Pros: You get to work on interesting problems at scale but on relatively small teams, so there's lots of opportunity for impact. There's a high bar for talent, so you're always working with smart people. It's still a startup, the pace is fast, and there's a bias towards shipping. It really comes down to individual preference. Engineers get to have a lot of ownership over their work.

Cons: Pretty typical growing pains, comparable to other startups. There can be thrash and shifting priorities at times.

Pros: Exciting problems pushing the limits of web technologies. Other engineers are wonderful people and a pleasure to work with.

Cons: From the top down, there is a mix of values that results in fairly poor management. From micromanagers to outright quiet firing, even if the engineering was 10/10, day-to-day is stressful and not worth it. There are other companies with a healthier culture worth working for.

Pros: I've been at Vercel for 3 years now, and one thing that really stands out is how we launch multiple new products every year. This is actually super important for any SaaS company to succeed in the long run. Usually at the 3-year mark, you might think "okay, time to look elsewhere" - but Vercel's incredible growth keeps me excited and engaged. There's always something new happening here, and the growth is amazing.

Cons: It can be utter chaos sometimes, as with every hyper-growth startup. But if you can navigate it, that's good.
