Pros
You learn a lot and you learn quickly. If you’re looking for a challenge in your work, then this place might work for you. The majority of people were the nicest and most motivated people you’ll ever meet.
Cons
They take advantage of people who are early in their careers. They will try to convince you that you deserve to get paid less than others for various intangible reasons, they will overstep any boundary you need to set for yourself, your health, and your safety by convincing you that to consider yourself and your family is against the mission, and they will weaponize your lack of experience to downgrade and diminish your voice in conversations you’re invited to participate in. There is zero organizational structure. While this is common in a startup environment, it ended up being very toxic in this environment because this was used as an excuse to provide no raises when you new role was more responsibility and more work. People were also put into managerial positions that they weren’t even remotely qualified for (i.e. Engineering manager as head of recruiting ) and with hiring a lot of new college graduates, that left little professional guidance on how to tackle challenges. Meetings with execs are often uncomfortable as you watch your colleagues and managers get publicly shammed for differing opinions. Managers openly discussed not wanting to be in certain meetings with the CEO because they were afraid of having to deal with him without their department head present. My advice for anyone looking to work here - Make sure to know your own worth and value before agreeing to employment. Make sure to establish boundaries before you start and if they can’t honor what you need, move on because it’s not worth it. And it’s not normal for companies to not answer basic questions about compensation and benefits in interviews
