Pros
- Very cool and innovative tech - Free lunches - Extremely smart and talented coworkers
Cons
- Mass exodus of engineers. This has been caused by a number of issues including low pay, crass C-Suite management, horrible work life balance, and talks about moving people to Boston. The response has been to do mass hiring to backfill the huge exodus, but before I left there was talk of even some new hires leaving as they realized what they walked into. - Horrible work life balance. Seriously, there are some people who work 11 hour days every single day. There is "unlimited PTO" but most people are afraid to use it. You'll get IM's from people past midnight. The entire idea is that this job should be your life. - I'm not even sure if this company has a culture. During my entire tenure here the concept of "values" or anything of the sort has never really been emphasized. Slack is completely dead and no one talks to one another. I know nothing about people I have worked with for years. You get messages from complete strangers who don't even introduce themselves. I have never worked anywhere in my life that was so cold, sterile, and robotic. - Individual contributors don't have a voice in anything. Long term plans for your job are made without your input. Large scale company wide decisions are made in private. It was always amazing to me that the people who make Butterfly run are the last ones who get to determine its direction.
