Pros

Compensation is competitive, and my colleagues operate at an extremely high level without any ego or pretentiousness. The environment is fast-paced and dynamic, and the work is challenging and ever-changing.

Cons

Being fully remote at this point in time, I miss the office banter and team lunches.

Pros

Culture of results (politicking gets you nowhere), everyone is smart and wants to be smarter, truly focused on the customer experience and doing right by them. Travel is a fun and exciting place to be. COVID didn't slow us down and the future is super bright for the company and the industry. The leadership team isn't bogged down in optics, they are all about enabling and empowering others to build meaningful products and be owners. And everyone here is easy and fun to work with, even in an all remote environment.

Cons

There's definitely a fly-or-die mentality which is not for everyone. But if that's your jam you will crush it here.

Pros

Engineering talent level is very high. Lots of OG engineers still here, with tons of institutional knowledge. They have promoted and hired well over the years - senior people range from effective at the low end to totally brilliant at the high end. Tech stack a nice mix of enterprise/experimental, you get a chance to work with and learn new things without too much churn or getting caught up in trends. Day-to-day work tends to be with a relatively small and well-developed set of tools. I have never gone anywhere in this company and found the people running things to be incompetent or lazy - sometimes minor concerns get postponed, but that's understandable because the people have their eyes on the prize. Incredible product shipping cadence leading to unbelievable growth despite headwinds from the pandemic. Solid comp, great benefits, huge personal/professional growth opportunities

Cons

Company has scaled fast, and that has been very challenging. Frequent re-orgs to deal with all this change can be confusing. There is some amount of office politics, esp in certain units. Engineering tends to be fairly well-insulated from this. This is not a low-pressure job - the amount of work is huge, and there is never enough time to get everything done. We survive only by prioritizing ruthlessly. Remote work means you have to be diligent about maintaining your own work/life balance. Managers tend to be very supportive of this, however. Covid layoffs were a real challenge, as you can tell from other reviews here. Looking back from 2021, a 40% staffing cut seems like an overreaction but at the time we had no idea where the bottom was. Leadership has done a lot since to become more transparent. Proof is in the pudding though - company didn't just survive the pandemic, it thrived.
