Pros

Genuinely an incredible mission and the product is robust. The company has a group of incredible, intelligent and hard working folks who truly are dedicated and a joy to work with. Compensation is very strong in terms of salary.

Cons

The leadership here are fictional leaders pretending they know what they are doing. They've had an ex employment lawyer leading sales (he does NOT know what he is doing), a data geek leading CS, a marketing person leading product....so many leaders doing things they've never done before and its created a chaotic company. This has played out in SO many ways. The goals of the company are changing monthly (weekly?), they hire/fire leaders (usually only the females ones because the CEO can't work with other woman leaders), there is a cockiness/lack of awareness that is pervasive at the top here. If you are lured in by the awesome mission of this company, turn around and look elsewhere. You will not like working here nor will it advance your career. Incredibly frustrating place to work at with little to no reward. Also - HR team is led by someone who serves at the bequest of the leadership and does not have the employees best interest at heart. Working here is like working at a circus.

Pros

Decent benefits and great coworkers

Cons

A revolving doo culture with annual layoffs. In the entire time I've been here, this company has managed to churn through hundreds of employees. Not a great look for an equity based company.

Pros

Some individual team members were genuinely trying their best, but even they were clearly struggling against the constant chaos.

Cons

• There were essentially no processes in place , making every task a guessing game but ownership and responsibility. • Requests came in from multiple directions and were frequently lost due to lack of communication and clarity. • Critical issues often went unnoticed for weeks because everyone assumed someone else was handling them. • Simple work took far longer than necessary because time was wasted trying to figure out basic workflows. • Nothing was documented or standardized, forcing employees to restart from scratch every day. • The operation was so disorganized that individual skill and effort had little impact against broken systems.
