Pros

I've been here a year and it's going very well. The engineering culture is very committed to making thoughtful, well-reasoned and patient decisions. We do a good job balancing product/business needs with engineering professionalism. Good work is rewarded, and my colleagues are nice folks.

Cons

The stock value is highly volatile; I suppose we could blame that on the broader market not really understanding how the company works, but still it's frustrating in terms of calculating long-term compensation.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)
