      Pros

      The company adheres to the CREDIT values. Everything is transparent and can be found within the company website. If it's not there and you think it should be, you can create a merge request to update the website with the missing knowledge.

      Cons

      The handbook and onboarding process is intensive. Due to the iterative nature and the massive growth of the company in a short period of time, it makes sense that there are some broken links. You can also be pulled into multiple directions at once. After the first few weeks you begin to learn what the real priorities are. If you don't know, ask...

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! You make a great point about having the freedom to make changes or additions when you see a need -- just one example of our mission ("everyone can contribute") playing out in our daily work. We also really appreciate your feedback on the onboarding process. We're always iterating on the new-hire experience as we continue to grow, and this type of input helps us get better.

      Pros

      Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

      Cons

      Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

      Pros

      OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

      Cons

      Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
