People at Figma Say

This information was sourced from reviews originally posted on Glassdoor.

The people are by far the highest quality out of people from any company I've worked with. On average the technical strength is significantly better than e. g. Google engineers, and the sheer empathy, understanding, and friendliness of people is somewhat unmatched at any other company.

Plenty of technical challenges. The most requested features are all pretty involved and requires solving problems from first principles.

The engineering team is diverse in gender (currently 30% female), race, age and experience. Projects are always impactful and engineers work collaboratively on the product, it’s not a place where you simply implement a feature blindly.
