Pros

Great product, location and benefits. Opportunity to work with some great people.

Cons

Managements unwillingness to invest in people or systems leaves many departments under resourced in both these areas. Compensation has traditionally been low on cash and high on equity with extremely over-promised returns on the equity this leaves the employees underpaid. The amount of voluntary attrition reflects this and further exacerbates the man-power issue.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
