Pros

Innovative industry and coworkers Meaningful work that contributes positively to the world

Cons

Leadership requires that promotions can only given with strong individual performance and a demonstrated business need, but the criteria for a business need are not shared. Employees with similar roles and less tenure may be promoted, while others who receive strong reviews are not, without clear rationale. Concerns about promotion fairness have been raised internally, but leadership has not addressed them meaningfully.

Pros

Great benefits & remote first culture

Cons

The only way to succeed is by literally working 24/7. Too much work for a tiny team.
