Pros

The idea was good, but it was mostly just a fallacy. Going into something that you believe in is a general perk but once you realize it is all smoke and mirrors there really isn't anything left to consider a pro.

Cons

The Founders are children with enormous egos, little direction, inability to receive or listen to feedback or criticism. On more than one occasions I heard them respond to reports of a competitor rising in the market with "I will BEAT THEM down with my fist" and other nonsensical frat boy statements. So many employees of quit or been fired for lack of funding, advisors and board members have quit. This place was a zoo.

Pros

One of the best parts about working here is the trust you’re given to get your work done in the way that works best for you. There’s no micromanaging or strict monitoring of when you come in or leave — it’s all about results. The office environment is comfortable and well-stocked with snacks. Overall, it’s a great balance of independence and support.

Cons

Things can move quickly, so you have to be comfortable adapting and keeping up with change

Pros

- Great work-life balance - You are surrounded by like-minded people who respect your professionalism and perspective on work-life balance. - The Company is currently going through huge transformation, so you will be joining at the right time; the worst part is over. - Tired of cut-throat, performance driven culture? great place to park yourself for few years for high cash comp and piece of mind. - If you are driven / want to make a change, your efforts will be highly valued here. - Great place for entry or mid-level as there will be ample opportunities for you to step up due to constant openings driven by high attrition and layoffs. If you line up well, you will have the fastest promotion tracks in your career. - Great place for people who can navigate corporate culture, read the room, and go with the "flow". your ability to ingratiate, perpetuate and be part of the core culture will be highly rewarded here. - Lots of exceptions, special one-time leeways are given stealthily and regularly. Just ask. - In short, the Company needs more driven, smart people to boost the performance. - You have a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to be part of great transformation and exit story.

Cons

- your experience and rewards may vary vastly depending on which department you join, but if you come in with the right mindset, that should not bother you - occasional (but periodic and predictable) layoffs. You will hear rumble and management does a good job of not hiding it
