Pros

Unfortunately, there are none. Stay away from this toxicity.

Cons

Middle management is poot and full of politics. Structure is rigid for a startup. No real job security. They will hire too much and will layoff as soon as recession hits. You can to be favorite of your manager to get promoted. No real career growth. People are demotivated and I can see this company going downhill.

Pros

pay, remote, some good/smart people in pockets

Cons

Senior leaders could not care less about employees and routinely make bad market decisions leading to foreseeable product issues and eventual layoff cycles. There was a time a few years back where employees criticized the dark patterns in the app - the president got pissed and said 'the data didn't show it was an issue', then a few months later when we got bad press about those patterns dismissed it as our competitors planting stories - sums up the culture pretty clearly.
