Pros

Good benefits, excellent pay, meaningful product (coaching), and the company will help you grow and find your work-life-balance. - You will always be learning something new based on new unique challenges - The product/company goals are always public and clearly defined for you to get behind (sometimes it changes but it's obvious). - Salary is great - Benefits are great - Unlimited PTO is real

Cons

Disorganized middle management, unrealistic reviews, understaffed for the challenges ahead, one product/contract away from the next layoff, and VC/Stakeholder driven (top down). - Understandably there are competing agendas across the different domains and it shows. You'll face challenges here of threading the needle. - Upward promotions are there but its very stagnant based on current staffing and the strict review structure - you have to over invest but that is a risk as it's no guarantee. - This is a very VC driven company with last minute product changes coming from the very top and with no input from the teams. This is a clear reflection of the CEO and it has led to numerous failed attempts at launching the "next big bet". - If you're an engineer you need to keep boundaries and stick to them otherwise they will use you to the last drop and put you away wet.
