Pros

Zeb has done a great job developing product that truly has a ton of potential to become a requirement in tech stacks at companies across the world. Culture is good overall, but bad cultures are starting to develop among individual teams.

Cons

CEO is a world-class Chief Product Officer — but he’s not a CEO. Great guy with a big heart too! Decisions are made in a bubble and often without consulting department leaders. When they do consult, they disregard. A 27 year old (not the CEO) makes the decisions for the entire company which are near-sighted and not scalable. Those who speak up are terminated or removed from position. This leader specifically targets hiring inexperienced professionals and gives them titles they are not qualified for at such a large company in exchange for them going along with the status quo. Horrible business execution. A lot of work needs to be done to move upmarket successfully. Toxicity is quickly brewing and department leaders see it - not too long before the rest of the employees do as well.

Pros

• Benefits benefits benefits! The benefits at this company are amazing. From Christmas gifts, to the latest Macbooks, and top of the line "everything" • Lower management is approachable, positive, and fun. •Environment is full of fun folks to work around. Many employees love to connect outside.

Cons

• The workload is outrageous. There is no clear cut role description because you are expected to do, fill in, and be any and everything you can. IMO this tactic is used to alleviate the need to create roles that require a different type of compensation when "everyone can chip in" • CEO feels unreachable. Although the "inner circle" has direct access, it seems those attached to that circle make it very hard for your ideas to get past their ceiling they've created. They will condescend (not just professionally poke holes in) your ideas if it offends their belief that they are always getting it all perfectly right. • Mental manipulation, followed up with 1 on 1's with your "caring" manager to make sure to can continue to juggle the hugs stressor you've just committed to. •Culty vibes. There's this feeling that "Everything's perfect here" that really isn't the case. and that's ok, but the pretending has turned into the culture •They don't want to hear anything about DEI. Especially not implement any training or even a team surrounding it. It's not worth their money or time to invest in it. The way they see it, they are *diverse enough* • Other micro and passive aggressions, too many to name, but will overwhelm you if you do not thrive in mentally strenuous environments. Had many panic attacks and depressive episodes.

Pros

1. Well funded. Raised a ton at the peak 2. Fully remote 3. Generally good engineers. Though some are boot camp graduates or internally transitioned so the pedigree and best practices mind set is missing in some cases

Cons

1. Most people are burnt out. Senior leadership has an attitude of squeezing out the last drop from every employee 2. Many average folks are in senior leadership position because they are close to the CEO. 3. No psychological safety 4. Fake it till you make it attitude. Watch the ads. They are cringe. Especially for people who work at the company because we know the truth 5. Values grunt work vs doing things the right way 6. Every decision needs blessing from the CEO who does not have good instincts especially in engineering 7. Buggy product. No competitive advantage in my opinion. Was able to capture some of the market by burning cash. 8. Extremely slow career progressions 9. Engineers have no voice
