Pros

Remote work. Streamlined processes. Scrum based. Easy work. Very easy interview process.

Cons

Poor management, and not the best environment particularly for any junior engineers starting out. Not very team or people oriented culture, which at least for me wasn’t fulfilling. Also not a secure place to work, conducted mass 30% layoffs with no warning a couple months after working here. If looking for a temporary job to hold you over, is a decent option, but keep looking for other work as backup.

Pros

- I was there for a little under three years. I worked really hard, and it ended up being an overall great experience for me. I firmly believe that it is a great place to work, but only if you put in a good honest days work everyday. (Nothing extreme, but an honest 40hours/week) - All of the things they are trying to do make it really exciting if you buy into the vision. (I was in office so I got the most out of it) - It honestly pays really well for a startup. You're not getting AI startup money, but you're very well compensated compared to most equivalent roles in other startups. - Their leadership knows how to steer the course and the overall trajectory of the company was on a exciting and steep upward path when I left. (I had to leave due to personal reasons) - It is remote and everyone at the company is very laid back and cool to work with. You have to attend your mandatory meetings, but you get to work whenever you want outside of that as long as you deliver. - There are a lot of impressive and smart people there (former Harvard grads and Qualcomm engineers) so it is a great place to network and learn in general.

Cons

- It is a startup so you have to deal with the common pains of a fast paced environments (roadmap switches, tight deadlines), but you get that in any startup that is worthwhile being at.
