Pros
Company collects amazing people, works on difficult and potentially impactful projects, much room for learning and resume building. The alumni network is tight and well connected, rally around a common theme...
Cons
The recent reviews about leaderships lacking are very real. It's evident in the way the CEO flippantly changes his priority of where to focus the company's efforts every week, hires amazing people and decides to not listen to them, lacks communicating any vision and disregards feedback from customer needs in favor for pet projects he personally works on. Any progress the company makes into a space is derailed as we change focus routinely before finishing projects or validating markets. We continue to compete directly against major tech companies and fail to deliver on execution because of these strategic and tactical blunders, and we repeat the same mistakes rather than learning from them. Most senior engineer/ product/ sales personnel are either actively interviewing or about to loose their visa - churn is excessive even for a startup. Anyone posting rave reviews of leadership is either naively sheltered from the decision making chaos or being very dishonest about their experience here; rather than addressing the root problems at home.
