Pros

Smart people, good vibes, good offsites, good benefits and pay

Cons

Leadership and management is not great. No foresight. Hire people like crazy when the market supports it, then fire a lot when the market doesn’t. Spending years developing a product burning through crazy amounts of cash without having even a single decent customer. Not a good look on the management at all. No stability in the company for right now at least. Stay away if you can. Don’t get trapped by their high salaries.

Pros

- Remote work - Amazing people (kind, caring, and unbelievably smart) - Very helpful managers - No red-tapism, we don't do that here - flexible work schedules - company paid offsites - great benefits - unlimited PTO, and not the scam type where your manager won't approve it. You're encouraged to take 3 weeks off in a year - Diversity is valued and you feel like a valued employee - You'll get everything you need to succeed here - They do H1B/ OPT sponsorship for international students - Compensation is at market rate - Well funded startup so enough runway, so don't worry about any upcoming recession

Cons

Not necessarily a con per se, but with every growing startup comes a lot of responsibility, and sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming to juggle a lot of things, but that's also a great growing opportunity. That said, you can take a day off or take a break for a few hours whenever you need to, it's no biggie.
