Pros

Overall a great start up to work at: a few leadership members stand out as they are genuine and caring. The culture maximizes for efficiency: could be interpreted in either direction. The culture strives for transparency and achieves it mostly. Salaries are negotiable and reviewed. No red tapes. Lots of trust in their employees to make decisions.

Cons

Can be a bit vicious with let go's: they only keep high performers. Again, can be interpreted in either direction depending on your personal preferences. They are in the midst of figuring out how to organize their people/hr teams.

Pros

There are maybe three people who actually care about you and want to see you do well.

Cons

Any positive reviews about this company are fake. Like another reviewer said, it's all smoke and mirrors. Most of the time, they're selling you a solution that does not exist yet, and then the CEO asks you to build it in less than a month. Seriously, if you're an employee, customer, or prospect–stay far away from this company. It is a sinking ship. Everyone who works here is extremely stressed out. The CEO does not trust his employees to do their jobs. He acts like a Sales Leader, a Marketer, an Engineer, and everything in between, so I'm not sure when he has time for CEO-duties. There is also ZERO diversity. Everyone here is white and hired on referrals. It's ironic, they refuse to post external job listings or give equal opportunities to others. What I've learned since leaving this company? There is a better world out there. Life can be beautiful. Other companies, even start-ups, do not operate like this. This culture is toxic. Everyone who works here is truly under a spell. There is a better world out there, and I hope they get to see it one day.
