Pros

Pretty flexible around PTO. Intelligent coworkers. Most coworkers are great people, (but overworked). Great place for early-career engineers.

Cons

Really, really bad work-life balance. Late 'meetings' when rolling out new features. Coworkers in different time zones means you are always answering Slack messages. Product was a mess when I worked there -- nearly every release had some sort of major incident. Basically, I felt lied to about the amount of work outside of normal business hours. I'm willing to do some of course, but it felt like I was working all the time. Great place to grow if you have the time to put in the crazy hours. Me? I prefer time with my family over work and money, but everyone is different.

Pros

High Impact: As a PM here, you see your features reach a massive user base almost instantly. The feedback loop is incredibly tight. Innovation-First: The company is leading the DFS space, so you aren't just following a roadmap; you’re often defining the market.

Cons

Scaling Pains: Because the company is growing so fast, some internal processes and documentation are still catching up to the size of the team.
