Pros

You can still work fully remote

Cons

PIP abused, the manager use "alignment" to cheat employee in order to quickly terminate by PIP If you think merit will get you promoted, this place is not for you. Promotions here are reserved for those who perform loyalty, fabricate optics, and obey authority. If you write code, you're a tool. If you write the script, you're leadership. External branding: freedom, player-first, engineering-led. Internal reality: factions, performance art, political maneuvering. You think you’re building systems — but really, you’re just constructing someone else’s promotion stage. Engineers, Avoid Unless You Want to Learn How to Get Your Credit Stolen Everyone Says 'Player First' but No One Really Means It Heaven for Performers, Hell for Engineers

Pros

Treat employees well. There are good perks and a genuine joy around what we create as a company. Good transparency.

Cons

Compensation and career opportunities aren't that great. Recent layoff situations seemed to be avoidable and could have been handled better.
