Pros

Great product and a company that has nice facilities.

Cons

You are expected to jump in on day one and perform flawlessly without feedback or guidelines. Frankly, there is no mentorship for new hires; the only guidance I received on my first day was to learn the platform by a specific date. After that, the expectation is to be fully independent with zero oversight or guidance. If you end up not meeting these non-communicated expectations, then get comfortable with the stick and start looking for a new job.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
