Pros

Amazing teammates who genuinely enjoy being part of the company’s success. Nice people disguises as executives who lead by example. One of my favorite memories was the CEO sharing a selfie of himself playing a video game in the middle of the work day because things had gotten too heavy with the pandemic, and he wanted us to feel comfortable taking a break

Cons

Things can get lost in translation, so don’t be afraid to ask “stupid” questions if you’re not sure about something.

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.
