Pros
- CTO is pretty visionary. I learned a lot from him in terms of product thinking/strategy - loved working with some of the engineer ICs - had great design managers
Cons
I gave the company a 1 year heads up that I would like to work full time remote in canada. I had great performance reviews, was promoted within 1 year of joining, and got sign off from my manager and the CTO that they trust me to do this job well. In February, 1 month before I was supposed move back to canada I was let go. It’s crazy because I pulled so many all nighters and gave my all. I was a stellar employee at Facebook for 2.5 years and chose to join because I wanted to give startups a try. My advice to anyone joining startups in general is to do a lot of research because how they treat you is very similar to how they’ve treated past employees. The reviews about employees just disappearing on slack is true.
