Pros

People are chill. WLB pretty good. Come if you are a senior engineer looking to coast, we have plenty of that here, disappointing for anyone else early career.

Cons

Management is rudderless (product + engineering) Too much of management/leadership is the same Foursquare/Factual people (they just hired each other) that promote each other, and are just re-running playbooks from when they were there independent of product outcome.

Amazing WLB, fully remote, and great CEO who cares about the people, the product, and the customers. The company is all about AI which is great

Cons

There have been some layoffs which increased the load of work on top of the AI productivity boost.
