Pros

Hi-Tempo workplace Building from the ground floor (if you like building SOPs, MOPs, and creating the standard) Competitive Pay amongst other start-ups and even hyperscalers for tech

Cons

Work outside of core hours is common - This is a start-up, and there is lots to build. Focus is on deployment and scaling, but there seems to be neglect for long-term strategic problem-solving. (This may be a communication/interpretation issue) Today's problems are yesterday's solutions.

Pros

- Lunch and parking are paid for by the company. - Equity compensation is offered and could have some value if market conditions hold and the company remains stable long enough for it to matter.

Cons

- There’s a lot of internal dysfunction, which makes it hard to develop skills or grow in a role. The company tends to prioritize moving quickly over building things thoughtfully or sustainably, and mistakes often repeat as a result. - Management quality varies widely, and there doesn’t seem to be much accountability when people are treated poorly. - The shift from three days in the office to five felt like a bait and switch. The allowance offered in place of the original benefit is only about 30% of what it used to be and requires tedious tracking and approval to use. - Despite receiving awards for diversity and inclusion, there isn’t much evidence of those values being reflected in everyday decisions or leadership behavior.
