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
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Bottom Line
Figma
Choose Figma if you want WebAssembly-level challenges on a product people love — but expect 60+ hour weeks during crunch.
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
