Pros

- some people are okay - aspirational goals

Cons

* Limited work-life balance. * No standardized work-from-home or remote work policy; flexibility depends heavily on individual managers. * No employer contribution to 401(k). * Benefits package is not competitive compared to industry standards. * Maternity/pregnancy leave policies could be improved. * Family healthcare premiums are expensive. * Promotions appear selective and are not communicated transparently. * No formal promotion review process, goal-setting structure, or clearly defined career progression path. * Salary growth is limited unless promoted. * Favoritism and nepotism can impact opportunities. * Lack of diversity and inclusion across teams and leadership. * Frequent reporting deadlines create a high-pressure environment. * Very fast-paced culture with demanding expectations. * Leadership communication during all-hands meetings can sometimes feel lacking in transparency.

Pros

- CEO's nonprofit is legit and does actually good things - Compensation is reasonable for the market

Cons

- Poor work-life balance. It's in the culture. You'll be expected to work overtime, work weekends, and never complain about it. - Sub-optimal benefits. Health insurance isn't good enough to afford you therapy when you get burnt out at this company. - Bad PTO. You can't take time off or sick days the first 3 months on the job. Annual PTO after that is just 2.5 weeks. Expect a guilt trip if you try to take any of it. - Company isn't very honest. During quarterly all-hands its common for upcoming products to be promoted like they already exist.
