Pros

There are some really great employees that are driven, smart and hard workers.

Cons

Management has no clue what they're doing; 1:1s are spent talking about vague half-baked feedback. The manager was never able to give clear answers to questions about the company, they would say "Let me get back to you on that", which would then never happen. While it's understandable that departments, jobs, and processes may shift in a growing company, it's reasonable to expect clarification from management. This request was always met with pushback. I was never really clear what differentiated our company from other companies that do the same thing; not one person I talked to about this from management was able to come up with a specific differentiating factor. Red flag. Managers do NOT care about personal growth, development or work-life balance. Be prepared to work all hours at VERY little pay. There is NO company culture, everyone is so tired from being worked to the bone. Do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere! This company is not worth the headache.

Pros

Collaborative, focused, "get-it-done" culture. Day-to-day feels directly connected with the company mission. Everyone is working toward common goals, and teams are always willing to help each other out to make things happen.

Cons

Too many layers and approval processes for the size of the company, creating unnecessary overhead for planning, prioritization, and execution. Lack of transparency into roles and responsibilities for execs / teams makes it difficult to navigate the organization at times.

Pros

Talented Peers: The individual contributors here are some of the brightest in the industry. You will work with people who genuinely care about the product and each other.

Cons

Lack of Timezone Boundaries: While the company hires across the US, there is zero respect for local working hours. Meetings at unusual hours are a frequent occurrence. Asynchronous communication is non-existent or vague. Cycle of Perpetual Layoffs: The organization seems to be in a constant state of restructuring. Layoffs occur with such regularity that it has destroyed institutional knowledge and decimated morale. It’s hard to focus on long-term roadmaps when you’re wondering if your team will exist next quarter. "Always-On" Expectation: Due to the timezone issues and lean staffing, there is a heavy pressure to be available 24/7. Burnout isn't a possibility here,it’s an eventuality.
