      Truly a unique company

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High concentration of smart + great people. Employees empowered to change the word in the good way. Full compensation package (base salary + bonus + stock + perks) is great and not easy to beat IMO, People who criticize it must have not done the math right and/or are performing poorly.

      Cons

      Career growth is somewhat difficult for non standard profiles (i.e. not Software Engineers or Site Reliability Engineers). Managers need to be good to get their reports promoted. Being on the "right" project (aka high impact with high visibility) does affect substantially career growth.

      Learned a great deal from some smart people, before it got too big

      Head of sales

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Quality of individual hires, strength of business, free cash flow which funds perks and benefits, less politics than other companies of a similar size

      Cons

      becoming a big company, too many mckinsey types in sales roles, politics starting to grow, easier to come in new to a senior role than be promoted into it
