Contract

Mixed bag

ngl Decent spot to park for a couple years and level up. Layoffs every other quarter — you're always watching your back.

genuinely smart coworkers, async-friendly, flexible hours

Be careful

Overall, Pay sat below market and they wouldn't budge at review time. Constant reorgs and nobody seems to know who owns what.

Pros

clear promo path, generous parental leave

Interview experience: Negative
