Pros

- Decent SF/bay area-based salary - Allows fully remote - Great starting org if you're new to the tech world & the perks that come with it - 10 extra 3 day weekends (1/month, outside of Nov/Dec) - Lots of career opportunities

Cons

- If you've worked in any other tech org this feels exactly the same - People are blindly focused on their individual goals and generally only care about their individual perception - Antiquated, accrued PTO policy - Most departments are understaffed - Poor work-life balance - Slogan of "Get Ship Done" drives the company to greatly err on the side of surface-level accomplishments that don't actually grow the business - Poor planning - 5 Day work week

Pace may not be for everyone, there is a lot of work to do. Scaling to become a mature company can be challenging at times.

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Good brand recognition.

Cons

Terrible culture. People fail to plan, then expect everybody else to scramble and spend their nights and weekends reacting to demands within ridiculous timelines. Nothing that you’re doing is so important that it’s worth constantly burning everyone out.
