Thanks for sharing your feedback. Offering a comprehensive compensation and benefits package is a key way we recognize our employees for the contributions they make to our business, so we’re glad to hear you enjoy those benefits. Part of that benefits package is a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) program that has been benchmarked to ensure it is market competitive and enables our employees to make the most of their time away from work. We’re sorry to hear that PTO program isn’t working for you. We’re also sorry to see you feel there is no growth here. We are very focused on helping our employees grow in their careers. We’ve been proud of the numbers we’re seeing in our annual promotion and internal mobility. Last year, 14% of employees were promoted and 30% of open positions were filled internally, putting us at or above the industry average on both counts.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
