Pros

- Great vision - The founders do care about offering competitive benefits, and make strides to make sure employees are happy. - Catered lunch everyday and fully stocked kitchen - It seems like the potential for a bright future is truly there with this company. I am excited to come into work everyday. - I get to work on challenging problems and learn from others much smarter than myself. - Career growth seems important to the founders as well. You will work hard here, but you will feel that your work is valued , and the company will make sure to show their appreciation. It's a work hard, play hard culture for sure (as cliche as it sounds).

Cons

- No 401k (I get that it is hard to offer a 401k that brings true value at the startups current funding/size. But would be a great benefit when possible!) - Office is noisy, it can be a little hard to focus at times. This is okay with headphones though. Maybe if we ever move offices, have more quiet areas where one can concentrate? - Easy to get pulled into 30 different directions, but this might be expected at a startup.

Pros

- Big, world-changing idea about how technology and people should interact - Good benefits and perks (catered lunch etc)

Cons

- Product fails in numerous ways with very high frequency and has been despite months trying to stabilize. - CEO gives lip service to encouraging debate/dissent but actually punishes, undermines, or removes those who speak truth. - Numerous voluntary and involuntary departures in the last few weeks. CEO believes 50% turnover is normal and a positive indicator. Many more are looking. - Undisciplined, unaccountable engineering team. Product hasn't worked reliably in months, occasionally getting worse, with customers experiencing daily failures - but frequently no explanations are given, sometimes because engineering doesn't know what's wrong. - Leadership is visible to give platitude-filled speeches but unreachable (hiding?) when the product is failing. There is a disconnect between how leadership seems to perceive the state of affairs and how bad things are at ground level. - Almost no one, internally or externally, believes in any roadmap commitments or hopes of improvement given the long history of false statements and unmet timelines.
