Pros

Passionate employees and positive business outlook. Most of the interesting problems one might solve as engineer here are still up for grabs. Personal initiative to snag that one cool project is rewarded, and I feel my manager and director are investing heavily in my career success. CEO and VPs are very open to company-scale feedback and even as a relatively new person my input has been taken seriously and often acted on immediately. I've been able to have a major effect on the company's direction. It has been a great place to get my career started.

Cons

We're growing as a company and the organizational changes keep you on your toes. What was once tribal knowledge among tens of devs has had to be taught to hundreds.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
