      Good place to work but not very inspiring

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - lots of great engineers - best in class internal tooling that you will miss afterwords - great benefits

      Cons

      - seems like all levels of managements are more concerned with hitting deadlines than if what is being built is actually useful to users.

      Going downhill

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good compensation - Great internal tools, a lot of them - Great people to learn from

      Cons

      1. Lack of clear direction from leadership. Priorities shift continuously, every year or every 6 months 2. Lack of long-term vision. All projects are PSC-oriented and need to produce measurable results in a short time. This has all sort of side effects like shortcuts, tech debt, and lack of innovation. 3. A bottom-up culture where engineers are pressured to find the scope and projects to work on, but constrained by points 1 and 2 and without having control on anything 4. Absurd 10% fire/10% hire rule, which exacerbates point 2
