Contract

glad I joined

Look, Comp is competitive and the equity refresh was actually real remote setup is dialed in — never once felt out of the loop. Way too many meetings, almost no time to actually build

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

Fine for what it is

Overall, Stable and predictable, a little boring if I'm honest. It's fine. Not amazing, not terrible.

Internship

Hit or miss

tbh Middle of the road. You won't hate it, won't love it. Process can be slow but you're rarely drowning in work. Got promoted within 18 months. They actually invest in their people

Pros

async-friendly, no micromanagement, real learning budget

Cons

RTO creep, burnout is common

Interview experience: Neutral
