Pros

The pay was good. Catered lunch a few times a week.

Cons

I felt unsupported and unhappy. I was in a team where everyone was just looking out for their own promotions. There was little communication; most people worked remotely and there were no structured meetings. I was also working 10+ hours a day. It was exhausting and demotivating. I actually breathed a sigh of relief when they laid me off from company restructuring.

Pros

- You'll learn a lot - Pay is good for a startup. - "in it to win it" mentality - Very smart and hardworking colleagues - Excellent tech

Cons

- Significant employee turnover and generally short retention rates amongst newer employees vs old hires. Many employees don't make it past a few months due to leaving or getting fired. - Recent layoffs impacted well-performing staff and contradicted earlier stated financial stability and long runway claims. - The company expects high dedication and effort but seems to treat employment as harshly transactional and as long is it fits their objective current bottom line, offering minimal loyalty or stability in exchange. You are not a long-term investment unless you're one of the more longstanding employees (maybe). - Most people are relieved when they leave, regardless of how it happens.
