Pros

Remote-first is very nice. Team members are good people

Cons

Management is very non-communicative, struggles to give clear direction. Mislead a ton of employees and very out-of-the-blue let go of about half of the staff after telling people there was 3-5 years of runway. Those of us who are left are left wondering if we're next. People, especially Marketing, talk up the technology but it's actually very immature.

Pros

I really liked my boss and they had no idea.

Cons

I don’t take this review lightly, as high level operator and emerging exec who has moved on to something far... faaaarrr… significantly, better: 60-70% of the company was called into a zoom that lasted roughly 90 seconds, in the least emotionally intelligent delivery one could possibly manifest, we were all let go. With an absolute TON of money in the bank, they retained a couple dozen engineers and 1-2 ops people, and cut everyone loose - blaming “AI”.. for a company that couldn’t craft an AI narrative if it literally slapped itself in the face.. in the midst of the largest picks and shovels play since f-ing 1849.
