Pros

Very much enjoy working here. Some recent, negative review are not taking into account two things: 1) this is a small but rapidly growing company. I mean RAPIDLY...so the pace can be a little frantic at times. That's the excitement of working for a company that is growing in spite of the things going on in the world. The hard work we're doing now will reward us later on. 2) the CEO is the boss. If you do what he asks you to do, you'll be fine. If you feel the need to butt heads with him, you'll be sorry. You can't have it both ways. Every co-worker is awesome, we get a lot of autonomy as long as we show we're getting the work done. As a fully remote company, you get a lot of autonomy...so don't abuse it. When we were all traveling freely we used to meet quarterly...a great opportunity to share a meal with your co-workers and celebrate successes. These days, we try to do events "remotely" to keep up morale and encourage bonding. It's all good.

Cons

Again, the pace is fast, expectations are high and the boss is charging hard to put out a great product. You have to keep your head down and your shoulders broad. It can be a challenge sometimes to get advice/direction from the CEO, because he's pulled in several directions at once. You have to be a fast learner, and be willing to ask those around you for guidance.

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working here is the company’s commitment to maintaining and continuously improving its platform. The engineering team is highly responsive, consistently enhancing functionality, introducing new features, and resolving issues quickly to ensure a smooth experience for both employees and customers. The company also offers comprehensive benefits and decent PTO.

Cons

The biggest challenge I experienced was a lack of effective management and leadership support. Managers often appeared to have little authority to advocate for their teams or influence decisions that directly affected employees. It was common to hear that concerns were understood and even agreed with, but that nothing could be done because decisions had already been made at higher levels. Over time, this created an environment where employees felt unsupported and disconnected from the decision-making process. Leadership communication and organizational priorities often seemed to be driven by the preferences and mood of a single influential individual, whose presence extended across nearly every required communication channel. This made the work environment feel unpredictable and contributed to low morale. Ultimately, I chose to leave because I felt I lacked the guidance, advocacy, and leadership support needed to be successful and continue growing within the organization.
