Pros & Cons
Figma

- Strong product mission that employees genuinely believe in — Figma is loved by its users
- Work-life balance rated 3.1/5 — 60+ hour weeks common, especially near deadlines
- Hypergrowth growing pains — product suite doubled without proportional hiring
Grafana Labs
- 100% remote-first across 40+ countries with generous PTO (~30 days) and mandatory shutdown days
- Engineers rate it 4.9/5 — absurdly talented colleagues with strong open-source culture
- Career progression above staff level can be challenging with limited upward mobility
- Product management is sometimes marginalized with engineers holding disproportionate power
