Pros

Fast growing company with the ability to create, implement, and track new/on-going continuous improvement projects. Little to no micro-management from my leadership, allowing me to focus on projects I deem important to my team and org. Incredible culture with the majority of team members being bought in companies product & impact. Phenomenal leadership with clear guidance on company direction, strategy on how we expect to hit targets, and candor on all-hands calls, Preside AMAs, etc. No layoffs since Covid due to leadership not overstaffing and scaling appropriately

Cons

Rapid growing company with a lot to figure out in terms of process. While this presents low-hanging fruit for efficiency/improvement gains, not everyone thinks with this mindset and can complain instead of taking action. Lot's of employees from previous tech roles / companies that complain about low impact culture items.

Pros

The mission, although this may be fabricated given the Reuters article.

Cons

Know it all and fixed mindset of tenured but technically inexperienced individuals. Toxic culture that prioritizes the way it's always been done versus a culture that's progressive and open to change and experienced viewpoints.

The decision-making is slow. Changes or new ideas may take longer to implement due to the number of stakeholders involved.
