Pros

- Genuinely good product and some coworkers are wonderful human beings. - Great vacation benefits, though this may or may not help you with burnout.

Cons

- Communication and transparency from management varies from "poor" to "non-existent". It's gotten to the point the managers don't even know what's going on anymore. - Micromanagement from execs is a fairly common occurrence. - Workload is immense, even from a startup standpoint. The CEO actually said that people who work 9-5 aren't a good fit for the company (at a time when most people were working severe overtime).

Pros

Good pay and benefits, friendly coworkers (depending on which team you're on). Company is healthy with high ARR and customer base is largely enterprise level businesses.

Cons

Major power grab happened recently with the old head of marketing leaving. Lack of clarity around company mission, vision, purpose, values and culture. Sole focus is on revenue growth at all cost with blatant disregard for employee wellbeing, WLB and healthy team dynamics is important but often ignored. Teams work in silos and communication is difficult with unclear POCs. Hopefully this stabilizes and things improve as new leadership finds proper footing. High rate of turnover recently since leadership transition.

Pros

Highly intelligent and collaborative IC’s. Bleeding edge tech and top 10 if not top 5 foundational LLM provider. Performance is acknowledged and rewarded.

Cons

Typical startup pains, have seen multiple pivots in strategy both from a business perspective and tech perspective. Could sometimes use more direction.
