Pros

I had a great time working with the engineers and GTM team, great people all around. I was given the opportunity on impactful cross-functional projects, including a full website redesign. Freedom to lead design initiatives and shape the brand identity. Hands-on experience across multiple disciplines—branding, UI/UX, product design, web design.

Cons

Management completely ghosted me for my last three months—no communication, no direction, nothing. When they finally laid me off, it came without warning or transparency, followed by lies to cover their tracks. There was no design leadership or respect for the process, leaving me to figure everything out alone while being spread thin across the entire company. My salary and title didn’t reflect the scope of my responsibilities, and decision-making was disorganized—often reactive rather than strategic, with major changes happening without any notice. Management knowingly takes advantage of employees’ passion, extracting as much as possible while offering little support or real growth opportunities. The company is nearly eight years old yet still clings to the “startup” narrative to justify instability and lack of structure.

Pros

The company has friendly people, decent pay

Cons

Very immature leadership. They were hiring like crazy shortly before laying off over 35% of their employees. Nobody saw it coming except the exec team, who apparently didn't mind firing 35% of their employees if things go wrong, especially the new joiners. Transparency is definitely not one of their values. Join this company only while continuing to look elsewhere
