Pros

The Eng subculture amongst team members was great. I loved everyone I worked with on a day to day basis.

Cons

You have to very much be a “yes man”. I was willing to sacrifice time with friends and my hobbies in order to get the one word of affirmation from my manager. And that dedication was rewarded. But as soon as I started trying to enforce better work life balance for myself, I was fired “for performance”. Leadership were just suck-ups to the CEO who didn’t actually look out for their direct reports and it unfortunately took being forcibly removed for me to realize that.

Pros

Definitely doing interesting things in a stagnant industry. Super nice employees and good work life balance, but going nowhere.

Cons

Leadership could not be more disorganized and emotionally driven if they tried. Company will never escape the original sin of having been founded by college students. Completely new priorities every 3 months, driven by a CEO who speaks about bad ideas like he's writing a self help entrepreneurship book. Just feels like a lost zombie startup slowly waiting to run out of money. Raised too much in 2021. Cursed to never live up to the expectations set in that round.
