Pros

- very good benefits, full coverage on medical insurance and all day meals - transparent culture. People are encouraged to speak up and their opinions are taken seriously - smart coworkers and exciting tech challenges. You have to solve interesting problems from time to time. But don’t get intimidated by this, you have lots of smart supporters who can help you. You can learn a lot from either the challenges or the coworkers or both. - you are encouraged to progress in your career development, both leadership and technical side

Cons

I personally don’t think it’s cons but just list here in case other people think it is - as a start up, busy schedule is unavoidable sometimes. But there is unlimited PTO - diversity in engineer group. I think all tech company in Bay Area is struggling on that. Executives have tried their best to alleviate it

Pros

Competitive salaries, supportive leadership, lunch stipend for those in office, decent benefits, embracing AI, truly trust in their employees, volunteer days, unlimited PTO, work life flexibility, positive and exciting culture. Honestly-- I like coming to work and I really enjoy the people I get to work with. Not a lot of my peers in my same function, but at different companies, can say that.

Cons

Can feel isolating as many of us are remote. Often only the sales team is allowed to incur travel.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
