Pros

This company does a great job of posing as an up and coming company... (it’s not).

Cons

This was a company that came to the public markets through a SPAC being led by Chamath. Fast forward to now and this guy has sold off all of his personal stake (any red flags yet?) Beyond that this place is very toxic. Management is very insecure and as such this affects everyone. Ask how often you work weekends or hours a day because they are understaff? (They will lie) If you enjoy being on a constant lookout of when the next round of layoffs is coming, avoid this place at all cost! I’m not disgruntled just disillusion that I join this joke of a company.
