Great WLB, no brutal oncall experiences across my backend teams.
Unlimited PTO is real, no pressure to skimp
Engineering culture maintains a high bar
Terrific perks for in-office folks, but remote friendly by policy, no pressure to come in if you don't want to. Most teams are more than 50% remote.
Strong management experience with technical depth.
Delighted customers.
Cons
Growth means scaling systems at an increasing pace
Time zone distribution now means teams are global, so tough to schedule syncs.
Planning process feels ad-hoc, doesn't take into account tech debt and KTLO as much.

Thanks for the review. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the perks and have a great work-life balance. I agree hyper-growth comes with some challenges, syncing with globally distributed teams being one. I expect you to see planning improvements, and I encourage you to share your feedback with your business partner as well. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me as well. -Margie / The People Team
Vey cliquey and laden with politics. Lot of the promotions didn't make any sense and just seemed to be based on the VP's mood on any given day. Favoritism galore and to top it off.... the clients are so difficult to deal with. Unrealistic expectations and no support from management when they are out of line. You will be demonized if you call it out.
