Pros

- Highly approachable and amicable senior management. They set a very high bar and work harder than everyone. - High recruiting standards. The company is crowded with talent - Most of the people have great work ethics and are highly dependable - Constantly challenging with constant room to drive change - Technical management decisions are always made with smart planning and smart sense - Very very low turnover - One of the previous posts mentioned that there's not a lot of hand holding. I thought of this as a con too, but this actually gives everyone the opportunity to mold and define themselves into a contributing individual within the company, as there's always more work to do, and always things to improve - Benefits are around industry standard - not a big pro or big con - Most employees are very young - it's proven here to be more of a pro than con

Cons

- A ton of hours - Experiencing growing pains from the rapid company growth - Hard to find information - It's a little too easy to get away with work accountability as most folks are drowned in work - Job title assignments are weird, but it doesn't really affect much

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
