Pros

I get to work with some of the smartest and most talented people I've met. We have great benefits, and a fun culture. I also enjoy solving real world problems and getting see the impact my work has directly on customers.

Cons

Most of the engineering managers are first time managers, so its currently a bit unstructured in terms of a longer term career ladder. A VP of engineering is joining next month so I think that will bring better structure to the organization.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
