  Peer reviews were the most useful signal I got. Manager reviews were a summary at best.

  The team culture leaned direct. If that is not your style, the first month is a lot.

  Design and eng were treated as equals in the room. Roadmap arguments were actually productive.

  Great place for someone with three to five years of experience. Less clear what senior looks like here.

  The lead was open about their own mistakes. It set a norm the rest of the team followed.

  A lot of what worked here was because of one senior engineer. When they left, quality slipped for a year.

  Meeting-free Fridays were actually enforced. Two big blocks of thinking time per week made a real difference.

  The team ran a proper post-mortem on failed launches. Blameless in practice, not just in the doc.

  Compensation lagged the market for engineers but the ESOPs did well in the end.

  The playbook was constantly being rewritten. Fun if you like ambiguity, exhausting if you dont.
