What employees love
- Ships code 180 times per day — one of the highest-velocity teams in SaaS
- Founder-led after 14 years; original vision is still intact
- Active public engineering blog with deep technical content
- Engineer-manager pendulum culture — can switch between IC and management
Honest trade-offs
- Hybrid 3-days-in-office policy — not remote-friendly
- Mid-market salary ($130k–$230k); not top-of-band like pure AI labs
- Smaller company means fewer large-scale infrastructure challenges
- Some reviews cite lack of clear promotion criteria
