Pros

Super strong leadership team with a big vision for the future. There is a good amount of depth and width in the team structure that ensures lots of opportunities for personal development and career growth for both individual contributors as well as people managers. Stock options for every team member make us all feel valued and a part of the overall success of the company.

Cons

Global companies come with some tricky timezone compromises in some roles, but it's worth it to be part of such an interesting and fast-growing company.

Pros

- Good work culture. - Safe to fail / safe to disagree environment. - Most people really care about the product and the company. - There is a general desire to do good by our users. - Decent work/life balance.

Cons

- Most relevant decisions come top-down. - For a company of this size and profile, salary should be a lot better. - The annual raises are essentially correcting for inflation (2 to 3%). - Very hard to move up. A lot of programmers stay with the same job title for many years. - Titles are quite meaningless. Doesn't always correspond to knowledge or experience. - Promotions appear to be rather arbitrary.
