Pros

Remote work was nice and off sites are at nice places

Cons

This company is exploitive of their employees. Management chain in engineering is out to save themselves so any time something went poorly they always look to blame ICs first. Very rampant issues of sexism in engineering culture and many cases where female engineers were pushed out and male engineers promoted with lesser impact. As an engineer you will be nothing more than a code monkey here. You are not expected to try to grow or advance because the promotion cycle is very closely tied to how well your manager is liked in the org. Company uses falsified PIPs and constructive dismissal techniques to push people out. You don’t realize how traumatic it is until you leave.

Pros

Many talented people trying to do good work, that I wish I could have worked with for longer. Good compensation and benefits. The company mission is admirable, even if it isn't realistic.

Cons

Disregard the negative Glassdoor reviews at your own risk. So many reviews over these past few months could have been written by me, but weren't. A company that was sincere about its mission, and being mission-based, would understand the importance of mental health for those who work to make the mission a reality - the employees. If you are sincere in your passion for mental health, and value maintaining your own, do not be surprised if the culture spits you back out.

Pros

Good pay. If you play by the rules and build your connections there, you get promoted quickly (by merit or not).

Cons

The senior technical leadership is like a revolving door there, and the eng culture is competitive and quite toxic.
