Vantaggi

Great company culture, everyone seems to genuinely care about the other. There is little pressure, yet people are very responsible and accountable. Small teams with strong focus on a single technology stack (no interdisciplinary teams), making it easy to focus on your area of expertise and excel. There is a unified technology stack throughout the company, which could be a good or bad thing, but it makes things much more straightforward and much easier to get help internally. The diversity culture is strong and everyone feels welcome.

Svantaggi

The diversity culture can make one feel pressure, especially if you don't believe in personal pronouns or simply don't want to have stuff like that in your name. Every meeting or presentation starts with people introducing themselves and their pronouns. This can make it very uncomfortable for people that don't want to do it. There is a strong push to use VS Code as a frontend engineer. All the company's tools are integrated with VS Code and they provide no license to Webstorm, etc. There is a generous education budget, but it does not cover conferences or books (unless the books are part of your studies). There is a free books program though, which covers one e-book (less than $35) per month. The company does not sponsor conference attendance or language courses, which is sad. There are lots of internal tech and tools, which you will spend the better half of a year learning. Given these tools are internal to the company, this knowledge and any experience you gain with these tools will not follow you out of the company. There is an internal version of everything, from React, to Webpack, Jenkins, Babel, Moment, etc. New language features (like async/await) are not available because the internal version of babel is outdated. There are lots of frustrating problems like these.

Vantaggi

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Svantaggi

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
