Pros

- Pays well - Company wide time off to help with COVID stress

Cons

- Lies were told during the recruiting process to give confidence to prospective hires that the company was financially stable - Engineering leadership micromanages engineers - New hires had an AMA with the CEO who left the call after 10 minutes, leaving COO to answer questions - Mass layoffs without any warnings from leadership that the company was struggling - Getting code merged is a nightmare of process that doesn't provide value - Favoritism influences how rules/processes are applied Overall, avoid working here unless being micromanaged with little to no direction is your thing.

Pros

Brilliant Team - you will learn from and be pushed by this team: CEO already has a successful exit, VP of engineering used to report to Elon Musk at SpaceX, engineers hold patents and one even wrote the book on Elixir Solving Big Problems - if you’ve had to say “what was that again” on a zoom call in the last year you already understand that today’s internet can be painful, what you may not be as familiar with is that it can be 5x worse in some parts of the globe, Subspace is looking to solve real time performance everywhere Wide Scope - because the problem we are trying to solve is so big, there is more work to go around than people to do it, your role is as big as you want to make it

Cons

Sink or Swim - while there is opportunity to have a wide scope, there isn’t a ton of hand holding or HR type programs in place to help you thrive in your role Near Term Clarity - while it’s clear where we want to be in the next few years, it can feel thrash-y if you aren’t used to an early stage startup environment
