Pros

Competitive salary (when payroll was met)

Cons

The company operated for years without establishing a viable business model and struggled to generate any revenue, which created persistent instability. CEO lacked clear direction, resulting in repeated restructuring, multiple rounds of layoffs, and high turnover. After the loss of its primary investor, the situation deteriorated quickly. Employees were furloughed and later terminated, and final wages and severance amounts were never paid out!! As a result, several former employees have pursued formal action to recover compensation owed. Communication during this period was inconsistent and often unclear, leaving employees without reliable information about pay, benefits, or next steps. Overall, the experience reflected weak financial oversight, reactive decision making, and a significant breakdown of trust between leadership and employees.

Pros

Good pay (when they were able to make payroll), interesting concept for tri marketplace

Cons

Still has yet to pay wages and severance packages for dozens of employees no longer with the company. CEO lies to your face if he says anything at all to you besides a blank stare. Horrendous leadership, in just few years there were 3 major rounds of management changeover (including getting rid of our entire product department, twice). Spent way too much time on the UX of the product rather than prioritizing features that would generate revenue. Fired people at an incredibly alarming rate and overworked the ones that stayed only to stab them in the back when mass layoffs happened at the end of 2025 and not pay what is owed to them.
