Wiz

• Super strong backend team - all members are very experienced and potent, no juniors, every developer is working on significant and challenging features from day 1.
• Flat organization - most work relations are between colleagues and not managers.
• Culture of freedom and responsibility - No micro management, developers decide on implementation and timelines and own the results of their work, and the company does its best to not interfere. This results in a daily routine that is clear of meetings and clutter, and filled with building great, robust technical solutions.
• Work is mostly not stressful and focuses on building the right solutions rather than making it to some made up deadline.

• Developers are expected to be very independent - expect minimal tutoring, training, syncs, reviews or manager attention. This is a great fit for some people but not for everyone.

• Most people at Wiz are, on paper, overqualified for their title and came from higher ranking jobs. Add that to a very flat organization, and you don't get much title upgrade opportunities. So if that's very important for you wiz might not be the right place (this obviously should not have a bad impact on your compensation).

• Work life balance is generally good and is up to you, but it's not a value for itself. The culture focuses on letting developers a clear mind to work on their technical challenges, you won't find here video games / ping-pong and similar distractions. Having said that, developers are treated as grownups and working hours / locations are not tracked, performance is measured by output.

As the company grows so fast, I think it'll be an important challenge to maintain this culture and talent density.
