Pros

- everyone is supportive, collaborative, willing to help each other - just generally nice people; people play ping-pong and pool, associate across the teams - solid financials and company trajectory; great to be part of a company growing so fast - clear product and market - good work life balance - culture supports taking initiative, getting things done - great design team

Cons

- Need for clearer processes. Things get decided word of mouth and then trickle about. Code and architecture standards are lacking. - Projects are often started without appropriate planning or scoping; in the long run this leads to slow dev and tons of tech debt.

Pros

Decent Pay. ICs are great people. Nothing else

Cons

This was one of the most toxic work environments I have experienced. If you value your mental health and prefer a supportive, professional culture, this is not the right place. I spent two years at the company, and during that time leadership consistently fostered a culture of fear rather than growth. The executive team, particularly the CEO and CRO, operated in a very cliquey manner. Employees who were not part of the “in group” were often publicly criticized or called out in meetings in ways that felt more focused on humiliating or embarrassing the employee than being constructive. Once leadership decided they no longer favored an employee, the focus shifted to pushing them out rather than supporting improvement or success. This created widespread anxiety and distrust across teams. Morale was extremely low. Numerous high-performing employees left without roles lined up (which says a lot given the current job market), and it was common for employees to openly discuss interviewing elsewhere and counting down the days until they could resign. If you are looking for a workplace where leadership takes accountability, communicates respectfully, and treats employees with professionalism, this is likely not the right fit.
