Pros

Hard to say anymore considering the cons.

Cons

Manu Sharma (CEO) and executives are absolutely toxic and foster a toxic engineering culture. They DO NOT CARE about people. If they don't like you personally they will find any excuse to get rid of you. They think the best way to improve productivity is to fire people, and they fire people en mass on a regular basis. On the other hand, if you are close to them they will go to great lengths to protect you, even if you are a manager and have committed harassment against a subordinate. It is unclear if they even understand what software engineering entails, and the have no concept of how to manage a SaaS product. Manu is completely detached from the realities of engineering, and sees Peter Thiel as a role model. He surrounds himself with yes men and uses others as his attack dog. Executives will not accept that they are often wrong and make incomprehensible decisions daily. They frequently contradicts themselves in meetings, and lack the soft skills required to manage.

Pros

Good at first but after they get your information, it's only temp. Even if you're doing the tasks fine.

Cons

They steal your models to automate an AI bot to complete their client orders. You don't make the money you should. Even when you do fine. Everything I've exceeded in, I was removed from after they got our models. Then all of a sudden it's a paused project, removal from, etc. I work law enforcement nationally and a US gov't contractor. This place is a scam and shut down.
