Pros

- Competitive salary and benefits - Asynchronous culture

Cons

This company, with its abysmal work environment, is a breeding ground for misery. The interview process alone is a marathon of frustration, dragging on with unnecessary complexity. Once inside, prepare to be bounced around like a pinball, switching teams and managers as if they were disposable commodities. Navigating the murky waters of unclear roles and expectations is a given, and don't even bother offering feedback because it falls on deaf ears. The leadership is not just uninspiring; it's downright demeaning. Public assumptions is a regular occurrence, as your faults accused as "entitlement" are paraded in front of your peers. Meetings are not a means to an end but rather a black hole where productivity dwindles into oblivion. The CEO occasionally graces the workspace, not to lead but to indulge in a bit of ego-stroking by taking on tasks that are better left to the employees. If you're unlucky, you might find yourself forcefully placed in a role that doesn't align with your skills, a thinly veiled attempt to set you up for failure. Surviving your first week is a feat, especially when layoffs strike like lightning, and the axe swings two more times throughout the year. Morale takes a nosedive, and the company's future looks as bleak as its leadership. Toxicity pervades the culture, with favoritism reigning supreme. Top Engineers frequently exhibit workaholic behavior, essentially making it a de facto requirement. Only the high-output engineers receive praise, creating a hostile atmosphere that pushes others to work at an unsustainable pace. Microaggressions rain down from the executive level, pressuring management to perpetuate a culture of fear. The belief of the CEO that everyone should code is not just unrealistic but absurd, rendering non-developers as supposedly worthless entities. In the chaos of disorganized goals and a desperate scramble to capitalize on hot trends, the company's future is a roadmap to nowhere. Save yourself the agony and steer clear of this sinking ship disguised as a workplace.
