Pros

- working on a product that's actually meaningful, trying to improve people's health - very interesting bio data. As I learned about the product I actually got a better understanding of my own health (I noticed how I sleep less than I thought) - exposure to diverse components, hardware / mobile app / mobile UI, cloud backend - big enough to have interesting challenges, small enough that you can make a difference - I really enjoy working with my team - a smart and helpful bunch - good work-life balance even though it's a growing startup

Cons

- Sometimes communication with the US team is tricky due to timezone differences. - Roadmaps and plans are sometimes a bit fuzzy, though that's not uncommon at this stage - There's many ideas and a lot of potential, you need to stay focused to get things done

Pros

Great benefits, growing company with lots of opportunities.

Cons

Management struggles to align on priorities, which creates a constantly shifting environment with unclear direction and success metrics. Teams are often given contradictory guidance or asked to pivot without context, making it difficult to execute effectively or plan with confidence. There is also a concerning pattern in how feedback is handled. Feedback often appears to be based on assumptions rather than concrete examples or evidence. When employees raise reasonable concerns or ask for clarity, it is sometimes reframed as negativity or labeled as contributing to a “toxic environment.” This shifts focus away from the underlying issues such as lack of alignment and communication and places it on individuals instead. Over time, this dynamic discourages open dialogue and reduces trust. Teams become more focused on managing perception than delivering outcomes, which ultimately impacts morale, efficiency, and overall performance.
