Average overall

Good people, dated tooling. Trade-offs everywhere. It's fine. Not amazing, not terrible. Leadership says one thing in the all-hands and does the opposite.

Pros

great equipment stipend, low-ego team

Cons

slow promotions, too many meetings, siloed teams

Pros

great equipment stipend

lots of red flags

Way too many meetings, almost no time to actually build. Burned out within a year, and I wasn't the only one Comp is competitive and the equity refresh was actually real.

Pros

low-ego team

Cons

bureaucratic, unclear expectations, limited upward mobility
