Pros

The work-life balance is very good. People respect your time off and I never had on-call, though that's team dependent. The engineers are strong and the company invests heavily in its tech stack, so there's real opportunity to learn and grow technically.

Cons

Promotion paths aren't always transparent, visibility matters as much as output, so having a manager who actively advocates for you makes a big difference. They also use a stack ranking system that creates internal competition, which clashes with the otherwise collaborative culture.
