Pluspunten
Pre-pandemic - lots of fun activities, team building retreats, etc. Lots of opportunity if you're willing to sacrifice work-life balance. Hopefully this returns at some point.
Minpunten
- Mental illness is treated as a weakness. Don't work here if you suffer from mental illnesses. - Demo driven development is most rewarded - leads to inefficient practices and stress/lack of appreciation for those not working on easily demoable work. - Biggest perks aren't possible during pandemic - Too many focus areas and products leads to small teams being stretched thin. In some cases, individual engineers having to split time over many areas. - Equity is non-standard (profit units) which are difficult to reason about due to the many LLCs present and complex passthrough structure. In general, the equity structure is very opaque and I fear it may be possible for funds to be shifted around to benefit majority stakeholders instead of employees for certain scenarios. - Below average benefits. Raises are tooth and nail to obtain. Performance and compensation don't always correlate. - Hiring bar has dropped over time - lower output and expectations over time.
