Pros

There are some genuinely good people. The space they operate in is pretty cool.

Cons

FYI: Notice how the positive reviews are like canned responses with the same dialogue? That it's a fast-paced environment and that its a growing company that isn't for everyone. If you thought those sounded like ChatGPT responses, you might be right because they are definitely not real. Want to work where you can exceed expectations in every aspect of the job description and still be told your underperforming with no proof, based on subjective reasoning? This is the place for you. Want to work for a sinking ship with not guidance? Perfect. Want to experience what its like to be completely and utterly demotivated by so-called leaders and "experts" ? Sign up now. Want to be told you have decision making power but then when you make a decision, be told that someone else's decision is more valid despite the data saying the opposite? You'll love it here. Want to have benefits stripped away and then be told that you need to focus on your mental health? It's getting really good now. Want to work somewhere where being empathetic and is less valued than generating revenue? Ever wanted to ride on the titanic as it sank but missed your opportunity? You can get the same feeling. Take a moment and look at the most "helpful" reviews. Because they are the ones you need to pay attention to. If you value your career and your sanity, and you are anything other than an uber-arrogant engineer or so-called expert then just don't do it.

Pros

- annual company offsites (last 2 have been in Denver and Lisbon) - remote first and flexible work - hard working and easy to get along with most employees - engaged leadership team and board of directors - company is willing to invest in employees through education stipend - unlimited PTO policy - good benefits (I really don't understand why there are so many reviews knocking the lack of 401k match or the fact that bonus are partially tied to company revenue goals. These are very normal things, especially for startups) - prioritizes work life balance - management has put a lot of effort into improving transparency with monthly all hands, weekly all company demos and companywide newsletters

Cons

- There's plenty of reviews from > 1 year ago that talk about leadership issues and churn. This is no longer the case as the entire C-suite churned over a year ago and we have some solid leaders in place now. We are still dealing with some fallout particularly with trust from our customers related to decisions that were made by past leaders so we have a bit of an uphill battle to fight right now in terms of renewals. - this is not a company for coasting, leadership is engaged and takes action when individuals are not performing to expectation. If you are a high performer I think this is actually a pro. - comp and benefits is good for the size of company however you will make quite a bit more at FAANG companies - sometimes we get stuck doing process for the sake of process rather than for the outcome - growing pains - some shared services teams have not been scaled up to support the growing needs of the company which creates bottlenecks and extra stress for people on those teams
