Pros

Their are some smart and passionate people at the company. Every last Friday is given off for mental health. Generous reimbursement of healthy food, Internet and phone.

Cons

Company has made a lot of bad bets resulting in a 25% layoff and additional departures. Almost a third the company is gone. Upper management doesn't make decisions based on data and have mostly kept the same course and style of decision making that landed them in the uncomfortable market position they're in. Horrible HR team.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with modern tech stack (Kotlin, Compose, clean architecture). Opportunities to work on impactful, large-scale products used by millions of users. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates and cross-functional teams. Good exposure to complex systems, security flows, and real-world challenges. Flexible work environment and decent work-life balance depending on the team.

Cons

Some legacy code and systems can slow down development and require extra effort. Decision-making can be slower due to size and multiple stakeholders. Occasional ambiguity in product direction, especially in cross-team projects.
