Pros

Competitive salary, bonuses, ambitious ideas.

Cons

Where does one start. At will employer, meaning for any reason they layoff and / or find ways to get rid of employees. Time and time again every year they layoff hundreds of workers. Beliwve ao that it looka like they are always hiring which raises the value of their eventual ipo. Nothimg works, over promise and under deliver micro manage although managers have no clue what thwy are doing so wndleas meetonga and reports that basically comes down to "busy work" for half of your day which takes away from cutomer care. My advice, run as fast as you can away from this train wreck of a company. Also lie abput unlimoted PTO lucky to get one day a season if you ask for it becuase its manager discretion and they always cannot give you the time.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
