Pros

Self-organizing teams Interesting technical challenges A mission worth fighting for A sensible career ladder and room for growth 401k match Education stipend Nice office WFH friendly Family friendly

Cons

Sometimes manager/director levels lean too much on "self-organizing teams" and abdicate themselves of responsibility There's a desire to standardize things but also give engineering teams autonomy, it's frustrating being caught in the middle

Pros

Challenging and rewarding work. You'll work in an environment that publishes the news everyday, if you are excited about helping people learn more about the world, you'll love it here. Good benefits, hybrid work, and really smart coworkers.

Cons

Does not pay like big tech but as an IC you'll be part of union with job protections
