      OVERHYPED

      Service operations specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Benefits: Includes health coverage, WFH setup/bills allowance, and stocks Flexible Leave: Generous and understanding leave policies. WFH-Friendly: Supports remote work with proper tools and a hybrid setup.

      Cons

      Not-so-competitive salary – Tends to lowball offers, even if you disclose your previous salary. Unclear career growth – Promotion paths are vague and can take a long time, with unclear expectations. Constant changes – Frequent restructures and shifting priorities can disrupt workflow. Toxic positivity – Overly cheerful culture may discourage honest feedback or dissenting opinions. Office politics – Favoritism and internal alliances can influence promotions.

      Pros

      - Great product - Great engineering leadership - Great culture - I truely believe the company just wants to do the most good and because of that I’ll keep going above and beyond.

      Cons

      Operations is a total mess, and it truely holds the company back. - Terrible planning cadences. - Terrible perf cadences. - Last min policy changes with major impact but little thought - Terrible processes in general

      Slow moving behemoth with many underlying issues

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lunch is really good. Lots of networking and connections. Still growing without much redundancies. This can be a secure job at higher levels. Pay is good but not the best in the market.

      Cons

      Very slow SDLC process that almost seems like waterfall. Unclear growth path after a certain terminal level. Not very egalitarian. Seems more ethnocratic especially at higher levels. Lots of rest and vesters. Looks to be in that stage of adding more process to tame the chaos. Stock options have been devalued by some investors however the company is yet to recognise such devaluation in their refresher grants.
