Pros

Greenlight has some amazing employees. Everyone works hard and works well together. If help is needed, it isn’t hard to find. The company pays well and provides opportunities for growth and development along with thoughtful benefits. Greenlight also likes to have a great time with quarterly outings that promote inclusion, belonging, and camaraderie amongst the various departments. There is also documentation for processes that can help new engineers. The biggest pro is being a part of making a children for children all over the US through the Greenlight platform.

Cons

The biggest con, in my opinion, is the lack of diversity on the people team and C Suite. The lack of diversity in these areas affect the company’s progress towards implementing diversity strategies that are different from the norm. There is a lot of complacency and righteousness. Anything that deviates from the consensus of the group is frowned upon and met with defensiveness. This can be limiting when it comes time to be innovative and forward thinking with initiatives. There is favoritism and groupthink in an area that should be unbiased and protective about the culture of the workplace.

Pros

Honestly the coworkers were the best part. Smart, easygoing, and pretty much everyone I worked with was someone I'd grab lunch with again. Managers I had were also solid, they actually tried to listen and go to bat for their reports, which is more than I can say for a lot of places. Bouncing between a couple teams during my time there did give me decent exposure to different parts of the codebase, so I picked up a wider skill set than I probably would've otherwise. The mission is something you can feel good about too, which counts for something on the days when nothing else is going right.

Cons

The work itself was just... messy. Priorities shifted constantly, ownership across teams was fuzzy, and a lot of what should have been straightforward turned into multi-week detours because nobody knew who was supposed to be doing what. Got moved teams more than once without a ton of explanation, which made it really hard to build momentum on anything meaningful. Engineering processes felt held together with tape in a lot of places, and tech debt rarely got real attention because there was always some new fire to fight. If you like predictable, well-scoped work, this isn't it.
