Pros

Management is incredible and the teamwork here is genuinely real Great people everywhere you look, across every team Salary is above market average and the benefits are fantastic Smart AI adoption strategy — they actually invest in giving us great AI tools, and nobody gets laid off because of it. It just makes everyone's work better One year in and I genuinely want to stay here forever. Hope they keep it this way

Cons

Product strategy can feel overwhelming at times because there is always so much going on at once, which makes it hard to keep up with everything.
