Pros

The compensation and RSUs are competitive — probably the one thing they get right. If money is your sole priority, you’ll be paid well. But make no mistake, it comes at a cost.

Cons

Work-life balance simply does not exist here. The culture is laser-focused on revenue and output, with little regard for the actual people doing the work. Burnout is not the exception — it’s the norm. Leadership is one of the biggest issues. Managers are promoted because they excelled as individual contributors, not because they have any real leadership ability. The result is a management layer that doesn’t know how to support, develop, or advocate for their teams. The environment is genuinely toxic. There’s a persistent undercurrent of stress and anxiety that affects your mental and physical health over time. I watched good people deteriorate — and eventually leave. If you value your wellbeing, keep looking. There are better places to grow your career without sacrificing your health.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
