      High velocity innovation and strong engineering culture

      Staff engineer
      Current employee
      New York, NY
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to work deeply across AWS, Azure, and GCP, staying at the bleeding edge of cloud-native technologies and distributed systems. The company invests heavily in high-level networking and team bonding, ranging from generously budgeted quarterly dinners to global events like the annual Staff Engineer conference, which recently brought the senior leadership together in Paris.

      Cons

      The financial benefits package is underwhelming. The medical benefits are average, and the 401k match is below other industry leaders.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re pleased you appreciate the strong benefits and competitive compensation. We also hear your concern around long hours and heavy workload. We encourage you to discuss this with your manager or People Business Partner to help identify ways to better support balance within your workload.

      Toxic Culture- Management/Leadership and Workload Need Improvements

      Customer success manager (csm)
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, wellness programs, and catered office lunches three times a week (but no 401k). The company's innovative products also provide valuable experience in the tech industry.

      Cons

      Despite the strong benefits, the company does not cover parking expenses, leading to additional personal costs. In-office attendance is monitored via IP addresses, but there is no accessible method for employees to track their own in-office days. The workload is often overwhelming, with too many accounts assigned, leading to burnout. There is a perception of favoritism within leadership, which affects team morale and advancement opportunities. Compensation is considered low relative to the demanding workload. Additionally, promotions are challenging to obtain, and managerial support is lacking. Notably, after submitting a disability accommodation request, I was let go, raising concerns about the company's commitment to supporting employees with disabilities.
