Pros

- Genuine nice people, talented engineering - Free snacks and food - Great work-life balance - Profitable

Cons

Honestly, I used to enjoy coming to work everyday since we had a lot of potentials to grow. In the past few years leadership has made several questionable decisions though. It's sad to say that I will be looking soon. - Our strategy is not clear other than acquiring and converting one more customer per day. I am not sure how my daily engineering tasks relate to the growth of the company. Where's our product vision and strategy? The 1PP has zero accountability - You get promoted if you are in the inner circle, or get alienated if not. Recent promotion of someone with zero relevant experience as acting-VP is a joke - Company has made some questionable decisions in the past few years, dismissing or alienating some of the good talents in Marketing and Product. - Extremely short-term focus!! - When things are not doing well, leadership blames the engineers for our "execution" - Some of the longer-tenure employees are feeling the burden and starting to leave the company or interview - Micromanaging - feels like people are being watched based on the number of hours in the office
