Pros

It's amusing to watch a circus on fire. You won't be bored!

Cons

It's Hunger Games but poorly written and uninspiring. Leadership is in complete disarray. The worst people get bubbled up into management. They hired more people than they can afford. They have no direction. They constantly rug-pull you and frantically switch to random new initiatives without even bothering to get set up for success. Then leadership blames all the problems on the people doing the actual work. You'll have a new manager every 3 months because people are constantly quitting, being laid-off or "fired" for no reason. The have no money for perks. Stock options for most are underwater. We have to share logins for the tools to do our jobs because they are broke. They stopped 401k matching. There's no reason for anyone to stay besides being chained by a VISA. Everyone not on a VISA is being managed out.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
