Pros

- Middle managers and colleagues are nice and smart. - Broad ownership if you want it. - Comp is good for the current market (although equity is shaky)

Cons

- Completely lied about return to work when interviewing employees earlier in the year. Many people joined with the understanding that they'd be fully remote, only to learn that they'd need to come in. Not only that, but the company is sticking parking and commute costs on the employee (thousands a year). Ironic given leadership usually gets paid rides to/from the city... - CEO is unkind and borderline vile in Q&A. I've never seen behavior like this from the leader of a public company. - Culture of anonymity due to fears of retaliation. Really sad to hear how afraid people are to speak up here.
