Pros

The people, culture, environment; genuinely happy, transparent, and surprisingly laid-back. No BS or sugar-coating to be had, just people passionate about what we do and those we work with. Simple and extremely effective to boost productivity and eliminate any stress from work. There's a constant push to continue doing things better, accepting that perfection doesn't exist but we can do our best without putting pressure on people. I really appreciate that management understands they need to empower their employees in a sustainable manner.

Kontras

Not much to share on cons. I've worked for a handful of software companies over a decade, working my way up in scale. There's always something to complain about. I've been waiting for the skeletons to fall out of the closet but after a few months here I have nothing to report. No company is perfect, and if there's nothing to improve on then good talent will leave in search of compelling challenges. I don't see that here. I see a lot of people who are happily engaged in their work at every IC level and a consistent push for improving things. There are things to improve for engineers but nothing swept under the rug. I don't see myself blocked for months/years waiting for other teams to implement features I need or want. There's a good amount of complexity to our engineering processes and efforts are underway to provide further clarity.

Pros

- lots of ownership - decent middle management - great teammates - learning a lot - older employees do tend to have competitive RSU grants and salaries

Kontras

- tons of legacy systems (10+ years version of Ruby on Rails... 10+ years since some products or services were updated, 0 associated automation to help) - last 2y of leadership has brought on tons of reorgs & changes. Example - recommended PTO days quietly went down, got rid of lots of free snacks, anniversary gifts went down $100s of dollars, plenty of silent layoffs - Senior leadership is focused on 1 thing - getting the stock price up. Has no interest in supporting some of our legacy systems that can prop up new products. - new hires are not fitting into our culture. Inflated titles. Empire building. Awarded for submitting buggy AI Slop code. Encourage working on the weekends. Starting to get toxic.
