Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're pleased to hear that you've found many opportunities to explore different areas within the company. Regarding your concern about salaries, we understand the importance of competitive compensation to support our employees' well-being. We continuously review our compensation packages to ensure they remain fair and competitive in the market.
For the most part, it's a great place to work. I am currently able to work on projects I find interesting that align with where I want to grow my career. Compensation is good, although it's still hard to afford living in Silicon Valley. I've found managers are far more likely to talk to you and discuss with you issues they may be seeing and try to avoid write-ups. For the most part, management will let you work the way you want in order to get the job done and will get you the resources you need.
Cons
CEO has tried instituting a return to office policy, but that also seems to have not been a huge deal. There was also a push to have everyone in the office at the same time. This may come up again as the company is getting bigger and having more demands from customers.
There is also a generational issue with products that are starting to now cause problems.

I like working here, benefits and PTO are good and fair. Workload is pretty fair. Everyone is friendly.
Cons
As a remote worker it is hard to feel the colleagues environment and get to know people outside of your department.
