Pros

They are good at hiring, so the people you work with are top notch and definitely are experts in their field and outside of those that are drunk with the kool-aid, awesome to engage with and work towards a greater goal.

Cons

Where to start... the constant threat of losing your job because you said something that upset Kevin (owner), the inability to perform your role because of the inherent distrust within the org, the lack of formal leadership and structure, the expectation to perform with your hands tied behind your back, the toxic culture this creates, etc... I can say that it's been more of a relief to leave than it ever was to work there, which I'm not sure count's as a pro or con, but is just a fact.

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working here is the company’s commitment to maintaining and continuously improving its platform. The engineering team is highly responsive, consistently enhancing functionality, introducing new features, and resolving issues quickly to ensure a smooth experience for both employees and customers. The company also offers comprehensive benefits and decent PTO.

Cons

The biggest challenge I experienced was a lack of effective management and leadership support. Managers often appeared to have little authority to advocate for their teams or influence decisions that directly affected employees. It was common to hear that concerns were understood and even agreed with, but that nothing could be done because decisions had already been made at higher levels. Over time, this created an environment where employees felt unsupported and disconnected from the decision-making process. Leadership communication and organizational priorities often seemed to be driven by the preferences and mood of a single influential individual, whose presence extended across nearly every required communication channel. This made the work environment feel unpredictable and contributed to low morale. Ultimately, I chose to leave because I felt I lacked the guidance, advocacy, and leadership support needed to be successful and continue growing within the organization.
