Pros

- they actually do a decent job with gender diversity in engineering - good, talented, and hardworking people - depending on the team, you can have a lot of autonomy as a engineering team - truly remote first, lots of flexibility

Cons

- questionable whether the product will ultimately succeed - legacy code base is upheld to a fault at times by the old guard. prevents new changes from happening - your experience is highly dependent on which team you're on

Pros

Great people and at least when I joined very international

Cons

When I started I loved it, then the changes in the company and the tech debt gradually killed my soul. Priorities and values kept shifting. Too much code built on top of spaghetti and many have VERY strong opinions about standards that often conflict. I give a low d&i rating because it seemed to me they were pushing out international engineers in favor of US. I can understand wanting your employees to all be on the same page in terms of language, culture, etc. but as a developer in the US, I think it's arrogant and short-sighted to assume that engineers in the US, particularly the bay area are somehow inherently better.
