Pros

None that are worth mentioning

Cons

- Leadership operates in constant crisis mode with no clear strategic vision. Decision-making is centralized among a a few key leaders who regularly exclude or dismiss input from others. - Work-life balance is not just ignored, it's actively discouraged. We would regularly reject candidates who even mentioned wanting balance between work and personal life. - The company prioritizes shipping fast over building well. Years of cutting corners have created so much technical debt that the product is becoming unmaintainable. - The toxic environment creates a blame culture where overworked teammates will throw you under the bus to save themselves. Don't expect to hear about issues until your performance review. - Your experience depends entirely on which team you land on; some teams are manageable while others are complete burnout factories with impossible expectations. Bottom line: Run. This place will chew you up and teach you all the wrong lessons about professional life.

Pros

Meaningful mission in a space that actually matters. Strong cross-functional team with smart, collaborative people. Real ownership and autonomy across the board. Fast-moving environment where you can grow quickly if you're self-directed.

Cons

Startup pace means processes and tooling are still maturing. If you prefer a highly structured environment, the ambiguity can be an adjustment.

Ok pay, I heard they have good pto.

Cons

Leadership is toxic. The actual good people get burnt out and end up leaving. They do outsourcing to India and they're HORRIBLE!
