Pros

Opportunity to work on a platform that is vitally important to millions of people on a daily basis.

Solid base.

Good equity package.

Amazing parental leave!!! Just got upped to 16 weeks.

Tons of fridge benefits:

  • $200 yearly to spend on the company store
  • $300 reimbursement for food and exercise equipment during the pandemic
Cons

In engineering, many teams are split between the US and China, which can lead to late meetings and different work styles.

In many respects, the company still has a startup vibe. It seems they are just now starting to solidify many HR and enterprise functions. This also means there isn’t a very well-set engineering culture (but many very smart people in engineering doing great things).

No 401k match.

Advice to Management

The two biggest things I would like to see in terms of benefits are a 401k match and yearly RSU refreshers. Also, I think a stronger push for a cohesive project management structure would do engineering good. However, I have been really impressed by the passion, vision, and momentum of the company so far, and I am really proud to work here.
