Vantaggi

- The people are humble, very down to earth and nice. Every coworker could be a friend you'd want to hang out with after work - Leadership makes effort to hear from you - Office is beautiful - Delicious lunches - Lax policy on working from home even though most people opt to be in the office

Svantaggi

- Engineering salary not competitive - No matching on 401k - Management/leadership especially in engineering is lackluster - Leadership makes effort to hear from you but whether or not anything actionable comes out of it is questionable. Engineering retrospectives don't appear to change. Lots of talking and less acting. No one is held accountable for change here. - Product design process is not great. Not enough testing and emphasis on user experience. Not enough collaboration between engineering, design and product together from the get go. - Felt like an engineer was at the end of the product process and was there to build products. Our opinion was not weighed as much as other teams. This fact has been acknowledged in the company but change has been slow.

Thank you for your perspective and feedback - we're listening and are actively taking steps to set the team up to be the most impactful (across product, engineering, design - and operations), including involving groups early in the product process and relying heavily on collaboration, which is something we strongly value as a company. If you'd like to talk through specifics, please do reach out to me directly so that I can better understand your feedback. Again, thanks for taking the time to provide your candid thoughts.
