Pros

- Some interesting work given the company's age and scale. - Total compensation is good, but is devalued by bad work-life balance.

Cons

- Terrible work life balance. Some people work 7 days a week regularly. - Toxic work environments. Some engineers with long tenure at the company will berate, haze, and create toxic work environments. - On call schedules are high burn out risk. You will be regularly woken up at 3am. There is reduction in normal responsibilities or increase in compensation or time off during on-call. You are expected to deliver as normal and wake up at 3am several nights a week. - Tools are being introduced to tie employee performance and promotions to Git metrics. - "Anonymous" feedback surveys are not very anonymous.

Pros

Everyone is very positive and nice. There's a ton of opportunity to make an impact with the scope and scale each employee is responsible for.

Cons

Product strategy seems frantic and directionless at times, although differs between product teams.
