Pros

Some of the people are great, office location is nice.

Cons

CEO is toxic and a poor leader. Have seen him yell at people, constantly berate others, make inappropriate remarks, and talk poorly about other employees behind their backs. Expect lots of late nights and long-weekends. He can't handle stress well and takes it out on others. People have moved to SF from other cities only to be fired a few months later. No empathy or remorse.

Pros

Work with smart people. The data is great. Free lunch. Certain teams are really strong, and the new VP of Sales seems to be a great addition to the other sales leaders who have been with the company for many years. If you want to break into AI, it's a good company to do that.

Cons

Both founders are challenging. CEO is always in the weeds and micromanaging employees, and COO doesn't do anything to stop him. A lot of people quit in 2025, and there was a layoff. Asked to be in the office 5 days a week, but pay isn't competitive, and equity packages are small. Benefits are basic even compared to other startups.
