Pros

You can learn how to develop products at a lightening speed.

Cons

They just announced the compensation change. The basic change is to take money from the mid career professionals and give money to upper management. They took away all the equity compensation from the mid/low career professionals. More bonus target to the upper management who are responsible for the stock price collapse. Upper management promotes "We before me" culture when they ask for more and harder work but they keep the culture of "Me before We" when it comes down to the compensation. Mid career professionals lost $50-100k in their annual total compensation by this year's compensation policy change while upper management collects more money and stocks.

Pros

Fast-paced environment with regular product updates to keep things fresh and interesting. 10x does a great job hiring high-quality candidates, so we have very strong teams, including managers. It makes it relatively easy to support products when customers are excited to bring them into their labs.

Cons

No standout complaints, though there are relatively slow promotion rates.

Pros

Lunch is provided, snacks and fruits.

Cons

The company culture does not appear to be very employee-focused. There is limited recognition or appreciation for employees’ contributions, which can make the work environment feel discouraging over time. Office politics also seem to be a factor, and employees may need to spend extra effort navigating internal dynamics rather than focusing purely on their work. The workload can be heavy, with long working hours and expectations that may not always feel balanced or sustainable. Overall, the environment may be challenging for someone who values respect, transparency, work-life balance, and a strong culture of appreciation.
