Pros

You are forced to be nice with everyone, alot of super sensitive people here.

Cons

Honestly, the biggest issue is how disconnected leadership is from reality. The company keeps pushing this image of transparency and growth, but internally people have very little clarity on what’s actually happening. Even after Series C announcements, employees got nothing. Comp is extremely disappointing. 99% of company got 0 hikes while leadership kept repeating board decisions as the excuse for everything. The remaining 1% are the same 5 employees of the company who get new titles every 6 months. Meanwhile, suddenly there are waves of overly positive reviews talking about culture and transparency, which honestly feels laughable if you’ve worked here recently. People who genuinely carried teams during difficult phases were let go without much thought, while management politics continues as usual. Founders are great at saying the right things publicly and in meetings, but internally there’s a lot of favoritism, blame shifting, and protecting positions instead of solving actual problems. The company also keeps changing policies depending on who you are. Some employees are forced into office while others get exceptions and special treatment of staying fully remote. Small perks are presented like huge favors while bigger employee concerns are ignored. Morale has dropped heavily, attrition is high, and many people are actively interviewing outside. There’s a reason for that. I’d strongly recommend evaluating carefully before joining.

Pros

A supportive and energizing company to be a part of with a team who genuinely cares about one another and the work they do. The mission is meaningful, and there is a strong sense of shared purpose across the organization. There are also lots of opportunities to take on new challenges, expand your skill set, and learn.

Cons

To be excelling in your role, it often requires putting in more than just a standard workday. This is not Stepful specific, it's the case with any start up and is not always a negative.

Pros

Pay is solid, people are smart, and the mission is actually something I can get behind. I like that the thing I spend most of my waking hours building helps people learn stuff, get jobs, and improve their lives vs. building fintech that finds new ways to squeeze money out of people or AI designed to replace everyone lol. As a product engineer there’s a lot of ownership and room to grow. You’ll probably touch way more than your job description and learn fast. If you like moving quickly and figuring things out as you go, it’s a good place to be.

Cons

It’s a startup. Stuff changes, priorities shift, sometimes things are chaotic, sometimes something breaks and suddenly it’s everyone’s problem. If you want super clear process and stability 24/7 this might stress you out.
