Pros

- It's surprising, but their tech is probably one of the cleanest and innovative I've come across. Everyone is very talented - Good career growth - Nice amenities and culture. - Diverse - Good hiring bar - Good work life balance - management is transparent. CEO is very active with everyone

Cons

- I left because it wasn't a product I enjoyed using personally. It appeals to specific kinds of people - apparently there were a lot of politics going on but I wasn't aware or affected by it - not sure where this company will go - co-founding team are still relatively inexperienced

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
