Pros

Coworkers that care. I believe the product is meaningful. They seem to care about diversity and inclusion

Cons

Pay is not equal, raises are disappointing. They claim "equal pay for equal work" and even share the salary range for your role and the role(s) immediately above yours, but it's just for show. I was recently promoted to Senior level, but my pay is a few thousand below the bottom of the pay range I was shown for seniors. Pay is determined by the starting salary you negotiate rather than performance, join low stay low. Engineers are being stretched thin with decreasing team sizes and offshoring. Small time sizes increase on call burden, with most teams being 3-4 engineers expect to be on call 25-33% of the time.

Pros

Great bennies. Loved the office in Chicago -- there was a gym upstairs, and it's in a very pretty building (see opening scene in "The Dark Knight Returns").

Cons

New CEO came in and laid off a bunch of people, including me. With that said, I talked my way into the job -- I was probably a little underqualified. However, I got laid off right when I had finally figured out the job. This was in 2023, mind you.
