Pros

Very supportive, driven, and value-focused place to work. Teammates are very supportive during work hours and a lot of fun after hours. Lots of opportunities for career advancement within the company. Good benefits. Management at all levels seems to really care about both the employees and the customers.

Cons

"Data Analyst" job description can be misleading. I expected to be able to regularly use my data science training at work, but instead I usually do what amounts to glorified data entry all day. The only time I really get to use my data science training is during unpaid personal projects outside of work hours.

Cruel and Incompetent Leadership

Pros

Solid pay for a small-medium sized company historically Smart and kind ICs, and line managers

Cons

- Leadership surrounds themselves with "yes" people, and anyone who implies that the CTO's ideas aren't brilliant are sent away, and managed out. - Roughly annual layoffs - Very small severance compared to what is being offered from similar layoffs - New hire directors are no different from C-suite, they pretend to listen, and then do the opposite. - If you're looking to join from anywhere other than India, you should expect to have your position be removed in the future

Thanks so much for leaving an honest review—we truly value your feedback. We are working hard to create a manager enablement program that addresses these issues. We’re committed to creating an environment where our employees can thrive, and we know that can’t happen without effective, well-trained managers to guide them. We’re sorry we didn’t get it right by you.

Pros

The core technology is interesting. Most of the regular ICs are super friendly. If you are interested in ML this is definitely a place for that.

Cons

CTO has the inability to work with anyone that disagrees with him Massive micromanaging in engineering and a massive disconnect between the number of product engineers and the companies product ambitions. Technical leadership has no platform vision and everything is hacked together. If you didn’t work at TellApart or Twitter don’t expect to last long if you have any sort of opinions on roadmaps. Long term company vision makes no sense and is constantly changing. No willingness to actually try to do things differently. Relentless criticism and pressure from customer facing teams. Consistent negative feedback loop. Benefits are below industry average and the company retroactively changes employee compensation programs. Just don’t work here. You will be overworked, underpaid, and completely and utterly under appreciated.

Hi there, Thanks so much for leaving an honest review—we truly value your feedback. We’re sorry we didn’t get it right. As a swiftly-growing startup, we’re working hard to scale and iterate, which can lead to rapid updates and changes in our roadmap. We recognize this does not come without challenges and frustrations. We’re actively working on upleveling our recruiters and investing in leadership development to support our rapid growth—especially on the engineering team—in a more sustainable way. We’re also committed to developing a better company-wide listening strategy and optimizing the ways we collect employee feedback so we are better equipped to address these concerns as they arise.
