Pros

I think our culture is pretty unique in the sense that I can choose to work from home whenever I want. Naturally, we have problems, but from what I’ve seen, people air those problems out and we are pretty good at addressing them head-on.

I also like that I can push whatever projects I want, and generally, people don’t even question me on it, not that questions are a bad thing.

Fairly generous travel policy to compensate for issues with having a highly distributed team.

It’ll feel very cult-like initially, but trust me, it gets better after a couple of years of being here.

Cons

Base salaries are below market for engineers, but I’ve heard the People team is looking to address this.

Career development is a black box. Again, I heard that the People team is looking to address this as well.

Advice to Management

Please don’t listen to complaints from people about not being active as management.

The hands-off approach is better for the long-term and forces compromises between teams.
