Pros

- Interesting work (team-dependent, but many teams working in many fields) - Company values feel genuine, upper management seems invested in the work, not just payouts - Very smart colleagues, great place to learn

Cons

- Sub-par pay/benefits for a tech company. - Strong correlation between effort/output and performance-rating, but minimal impact on compensation - Teams are small and each generally covers a very wide field. Expect the majority of your work to be done alone (can be a blessing and a curse)

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
