Pros

Extremely strong culture, interesting perks like 30 min long massages and catered lunches, nice 401k match, generous healthcare, and regular volunteer projects on site.

Cons

The culture gets old quick, borders on manic and forced. Bloated job titles and descriptions hide the fact that everyone's doing menial customer service work. No amount of perks will make up for that. It was hard to tell while there how people truly felt about the company because the vast majority of people had on fake sunny dispositions. The latest series of departures suggest there's underlying dissatisfaction among the employees.

Pros

Pay is good and product is for Social Good

Cons

There is little hope that our stock options will have value soon. Leadership often prioritized alignment over independent judgment, and despite major hires and restructuring, the company has struggled to deliver products with meaningful impact or market traction. Feedback largely flowed top-down, with dissent poorly received and limited room to challenge decisions. While some leaders projected openness, there was often a noticeable gap between image and reality, with culture seeming more focused on hierarchy and appearances than execution and results.
