Pros

Fast paced, most engineering work is figuring out how to get bigger. I have a lot of flexibility on what I will work on. Great benefits. I do not work with any jerks.

Cons

Growing pains: cramped space, confused managers. Can be high pressure depending on team. Dogmatically far-left-wing politics.

Pros

Decent opportunities for growth. Working hours flexibility. Relaxed environment and fantastic colleagues. Versatile position — definitely not a call centre kind of job if that's what you're imagining.

Cons

Californian PC culture can be a bit too strong.

Pros

-Extremely smart teammates. -The best culture I've experienced at a technology company. People genuinely want to be successful together, super collaborative culture with an intentional approach to promoting and maintaining our cultural values. -The business opportunity is massive and we've only just scratched the surface. -No shortage of opportunity, in any role. Execs are open to feedback and great listeners. If you're willing to do the work, you can have a strategic impact. -Pay is competitive, benefits are the best I've ever had and the office(s) are incredibly nice. -People seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. -This is a once in a lifetime career opportunity.

Cons

-Moving faster than any software company in history - this means that things need to happen quickly. -Change can be uncomfortable if you're not used to it. Exec team is aware and focused on maintaining a positive culture. -It's not a cushy job, the opportunity is in the impact and REAL work you'll be doing as the company continues to grow.
