Pros

- Some genius software engineers to work with. Ambitious and supportive product team. And smart designers. - Flexible working hours

Cons

- Unsupportive(Neither oral nor action) and lousy management(Engineering) - Some engineering decisions are made by an incompetent personnel and won't allow you to question his decisions, which later proved to be wrong in so many ways. An approach this guy proposed/designed has been worked on for more than one year and still in progress. Jesus, that's why majority startups fail eventually because of some of those people exists - Work culture is bad in shape - WFH time is intensively stalked by one of the engineering leads - Show no respect to others at work. Yelling at people, left the conference room without meeting ends and final results. Talking 20 mins at the meeting which has nothing to do with the topic and the gets mad at you when you trying to correct him back on track. Also, I was told directly "If you book a conference room at 2:00 pm and someone is still in the room, you should go in directly and embarrass them." Really, why you want to embarrass your coworker? - The year-end review is frustrating and you manager just push responsibility to other people who have left - Not a team-oriented environment

No longer a startup, so there's bureaucracies that hinder progress, but not too bad

Things move quickly and if you are more of a process driven person it will take time to address. If you are not looking to help innovate then you might struggle with working here.
