Pros

High level of autonomy, fast-paced environment with change to have an impact. The company fully respect their values on a daily basis. Unique culture. Great set of benefits. The toolset is very modern with possibilities to try new things and experiment a lot.

Cons

If you are not a self-starter and do not have a very high level of curiosity, discipline and motivation can be difficult for you to adopt.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
