Pros

- Really good engineers and some wonderful people here and there. - The company has made some smart business decisions that set it apart from competitors.

Cons

In my view, the company seems to be a bit stuck right now. High operational costs, a slow development pace, and a focus on smaller features over big, impactful improvements are holding it back. There’s also a bit of a disconnect in communication between different management levels, which sometimes leads to changes in direction that can feel inconsistent. I’ve noticed a few cases where decisions are made, only to be reversed later based on new priorities from CEO, which doesn’t always help with clarity or morale. Additionally, I've seen some mixed messages around certain company decisions that make it a bit hard to fully trust the organization’s direction. Overall, I wouldn’t call the company completely transparent or reliable right now. Still, if it achieves a bit more financial and strategic stability, it could be a decent place to join.

Pros

Truly "flexy" work style. When they say to make your own hours they truly mean it, nobody cares when you work so long as you're reasonably available. Pretty good benefits for the US, such as four weeks vacation and a BCBS health plan. Kind and fun-loving colleagues around the globe are a pleasure to spend time with. Excellent culture of continual improvement and learning, people actively solicit and listen to the ideas and feedback of their peers.

Cons

Working across the globe can make for long days (but you certainly can take breaks). Typical scale-up issues of never having the time to do all that needs to get done (but at least it's never boring!).
