There are so many smart people to learn from and a lot of opportunities to level up your game and build stuff that people really love using.

Most people are very humble, even the smartest ones. Not what you expect from coming to a company that is known for its brain power.

Direct connection to leadership allows for great growth personally and professionally.

Recent management additions are very strong and great leaders.

Doing meaningful work with lots of research and benchmarking.

Remote culture is strong; everything happens on chat, and it's not just for work-related stuff. It's very social, and people share their lives, so you don't feel so "remote" from people.

It's very easy to be friends with people from work. Offsites are fun because the people are awesome.

Remote work doesn't always work as it's primarily around US timezones. Everyone that works in other regions is expected to align or wait for US employees, and the opposite is not true.

Therefore, WLB is very bad if you're outside the US.

Bonuses etc. are not a norm.

Direct connection to leadership can be stressful.

Compensation outside of the US is not competitive.
