It's okay

Some teams are great, others are a mess — luck of the draw. Leadership is straight with you in the all-hands, no corporate fluff.

Cons

weak onboarding, bureaucratic

Pros

pay is solid

Cons

bureaucratic, below-market pay, unclear expectations

Overall, Process can be slow but you're rarely drowning in work. Stable and predictable, a little boring if I'm honest.

Pros

async-friendly

Cons

comp doesn't keep up with market, tooling is dated

Interview experience: Negative
