Pros

Benefits are fine. The office is nice, and quiet. Not an email heavy company and don't "do the most" with their culture (aka, respectful of time and space).

Cons

If I could describe my experience so far at Greenlight in a "feeling".... - When you mention a TV show in the group chat and 6 months later someone says "hey, have you seen that show ____?" - When someone owes you money and then you see them on Instagram at a concert. You think - give the startup/tech/Saas/ space another go. But there you are again. Suddenly realizing you're in a job you didn't sign up for. You're thrust into massive changes - which change direction every day by the way. You want to make change, but no one seems to have the answers to get you started. You're doing so much, but how would they ever know? I'm glad I kept a notebook nearby and wrote my accomplishments down daily. So when you get that one complaint from leadership per month (who, you know... thinks they understand your day to day)... You can back yourself up at the performance review they never cared to measure. But, why wait until then? Because, let's face it. Value doesn't matter anymore. Input doesn't matter anymore. Layoff or not (which I was not), you are always disposable. I am the same age as the others in my department. Arguably (and factual in some cases), I have more years of experience than them. But I'm swarmed in constant undertones of cliquey and condescending "advice and support."

Pros

- Work towards mission of serving families - Great work-life balance/flexibility with work schedule - Working with newest technologies + smart coworkers - Plethora of different products at Greenlight, so wide range of interesting things going on at the company - Annual bonus + 401k match

Cons

At times, rapid shifting product priorities at the leadership level, resulting in lots of context switching at the IC level.

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.
