Pros
Very cool people. Gain experience fast.
Cons
It’s a very toxic work place with no diversity at the leadership level. For a female-founded company, sexism is prevalent. Intelligent and ambitious women are routinely silenced in favour of white males who “talk the talk”. There are very few opportunities for growth and learning. Sporadically changing direction almost weekly at the whim of the exec team. Basically, what SF blog did they read last night and completely boil down to one idea, missing the complete understanding? That’s our new plan of action. Tons of qualified and talented employees throughout the company, but all decisions are made at exec level; consistently at odds with employee (expert) opinions. Not metric-driven whatsoever— metrics are subjectively chosen that support the story the leadership wants to share. It’s where talented humans go to burn out. You’re constantly doing the job of five people; while simultaneously being micromanaged by the exec team, who don’t listen or value anything you say. Do not listen to 5 star planted reviews. Listen to the common prevalent themes in all the 1-3 star reviews: burn out, lack of direction, no diversity, no autonomy, and toxicity.
