We care a lot about building great products, but also about writing great software. We have high standards for our code, and everything to push goes through a rigorous code review. We're ok if it takes a little longer to get things right because we believe it leads to better products, better software, and happier engineers in the long term. There's obviously a tradeoff between speed and quality, and while we're always trying to find the sweet spot, we tend to err on the side of shipping well designed software.
Related to this, engineers are expected to give input on the product. It's not "here's a spec, go build exactly what it says." We think building great products is a "contact sport," meaning there's typically a lot of (respectful!) debate and refinement over the things we build before they reach their final form. This means pointing out the UI inconsistencies and UX awkwardness when starting to build out the frontend or coming up with novel ways to leverage the immense dataset we have on the backend to drive better outcomes for our customers.
We also do a lot of team activities here. Whether it's trivia or game nights, or lunch with the team, or our bi-weekly lunch &amp; learn where we rotate presenting to the rest of the engineering team on technical topics that are interesting to us. There's always something going on.
