Pros

Lots of flexibility, nice office and perks, some cool people, technically very interesting, competitive remuneration

Cons

The layoffs were badly communicated and managed. It is still not clear whats really going on and the lack of transparency and prospects is very demotivating. Also, too much talk and not enough action on sustainability. The company likes to believe it is "green", but actions often speak otherwise (e.g. business travel). At least, the problem is acknowledged as such, unlike other companies.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and smart people, who unfortunately are leaving.

Cons

Sales and technical teams are not always set up to succeed together, which creates unnecessary pressure on technical teams and contributes to burnout. There is a strong focus on growth, but employee retention does not receive the same attention. Compensation is not always competitive, and career advancement processes can feel inconsistent depending on the opportunities available to you. All approvals run up to founder level.
