Pros

Meets some basic expectations: - remote culture - 401k and benefits - actually backed by real VCs and investors

Cons

The root issue here is incompetent leadership. The entire vision and strategy is built on the latest buzz words in AI/NLU, and failed attempts at mimicking competitors and other successful startups. Many competing platforms and solutions that entered the market later have surpassed them in technology, growth, and providing real customer value. Expertise and experience are not valued and are irrelevant, the only thing that matters is a 'yes mentality.' Performance is measured by how good you are at saying 'yes' and never disagreeing with the CEO. Being right is not as important as not exposing the CEO's incompetence and insecurities. If you value growth and being part of a company/technology that provides real value, this is not the place for you. However, if you lack the capacity of critical thinking and strive on just taking orders, this is an opportunity you shouldn't pass up.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits. Work / Life balance was good, though sometimes had to work odd hours because global teams. Skilled engineers and they were great to work with. Product and tech was interesting.

Cons

I personally got along with leadership but I heard some bad stories. I think the engineering team is kept away from the politics. Product doesn't seem to be going anywhere and there was a lack of clear vision for the future. Multiple projects would be terminated for reasons unknown. Steep learning curve for tech, lack of documentation or training. As the company grew employees felt more alienated. They claim quarterly meetups but that's simply not true.
