Pros

From our CEO down to each department, we are always asking ourselves how to be better - better technology/products, better for our customers, internally more efficient.

Cons

Hiring has been painfully slow/limited over the past year which results in needed actions having to be sequenced (preventing us from going faster).

Pros

Tech is innovative, and the FE team is mostly talented. If you’re lucky enough to have a fair and supportive manager, you’ll feel valued, and your experience will be drastically different—maybe even rewarding!

Cons

If you’re a woman, do NOT expect recognition, career growth, or fair treatment unless you’re part of the “inner circle.” If you’re not in the inner circle, you’re disposable—no matter how hard you work. Work-life balance is a joke—you’ll be grinding late nights and weekends with zero downtime. The burnout is real, and the long-term damage isn’t worth it. Constant org changes create chaos, and the toxic dynamic between AEs and SAs only makes things worse!
