Pros

* mission-oriented company where we make products that help society and save lives * people genuinely try to help each other * still has more of a small company feel, so not a lot of bureaucracy. * lot of interesting technology across cloud, mobile, AI, VR, etc

Cons

SDLC still has work to be better. for example, while there is a QA org, we still don't have enough automated testing. Don't have continuous deployments quite yet. Also the local dev environment experience could be much better. the good news is people are aware, and the company have been attempting to improve this over time.

Pros

Great people to work with. Work/life balance is taken seriously, don't feel overworked. Chill / relaxed environment. Interesting work. I've hopped around the last few years because most companies don't seem to draw a connection between how they treat their employees and how they retain them. I've been here since the end of May, so about 6 months now, and I'm generally pretty happy with pace of work, co-workers, boss, etc. This is the first time where I've felt like I can stay for a long time and it actually makes sense to do so. The health insurance is excellent too, which is a huge plus as well.

Cons

The interview process is honestly not great. We just copy LeetCode problems, same broken process as other tech companies, but the thing is that we don't pay like other tech companies. We do base, bonus and RSUs same as them, sure, but our pay is not competitive compared to the other tech companies asking LeetCode questions. It's fine right now since no one else is hiring but this will likely lead to difficulty in attracting and retaining talent when other tech companies are hiring again.
