Pros

Teams are small and extremely collaborative. Opportunity to work on challenging technical problems. Good work life balance.

Cons

No work from home policy Becoming increasingly process-intensive over past few years. Conflicting demands on getting new flashy features out the door versus updating legacy features that are in serious need of refactoring/redesign -- the latter usually ends up being sacrificed for the former. Lower salaries compared to similar tech companies.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
