Pros

exciting company at an exciting stage - has the potential to do really great stuff in this industry

Cons

-heavy culture of favoritism here, people are only promoted or hired if you are liked by the manager or leadership team and it is very obvious who is in the "in" crowd -a lot of people are burnt out and many teams are understaffed while other teams seem to have unlimited budget and are way overstaffed, so certain employees are barely working / have super light workloads and others log off at 9pm and are sending emails on weekends -some leaders are straight up bullies -If you aren't giving 200%, you are not meeting expectations -barely any processes, so everything is a mess and there's a bunch of finger pointing and blame happening. No one knows how to do anything or what the "process" is for anything

Pros

The work environment is incredibly fast-paced, offering opportunities for professional growth. I enjoyed leveraging cutting-edge tools and technology, and the experience of working for a company in a state of hyper-growth was both exhilarating and exciting.

Cons

The company culture leans heavily toward a "tech bro" atmosphere that often feels unprofessional. While the environment encourages authenticity, it frequently crosses the line into inappropriateness, such as when a C-suite member used a racially insensitive term during an all-hands meeting. Beyond the problematic culture, the work environment is highly unforgiving. Employees are expected to consistently perform at a high level while working 60–80 hours per week, yet there is zero loyalty from leadership. The company demands total excellence, but even a minor mistake often results in management immediately planning to replace someone, even while they are training their successor.
