Pros

Fascinating product, smart and kind people, inspiring leadership. I've loved working here so far. Great energy, caring environment, and the company is focused on all the right things in terms of business strategy and cultivating a strong and enjoyable company culture.

Cons

As expected in a start up, the pace and volume of work is high. I knew that going in, and am energized and excited about the work, but it is pretty consuming. Also, as the US office is still relatively new, we don't have all the benefits I'd like just yet.

Pros

Great benefits, growing company with lots of opportunities.

Cons

Management struggles to align on priorities, which creates a constantly shifting environment with unclear direction and success metrics. Teams are often given contradictory guidance or asked to pivot without context, making it difficult to execute effectively or plan with confidence. There is also a concerning pattern in how feedback is handled. Feedback often appears to be based on assumptions rather than concrete examples or evidence. When employees raise reasonable concerns or ask for clarity, it is sometimes reframed as negativity or labeled as contributing to a “toxic environment.” This shifts focus away from the underlying issues such as lack of alignment and communication and places it on individuals instead. Over time, this dynamic discourages open dialogue and reduces trust. Teams become more focused on managing perception than delivering outcomes, which ultimately impacts morale, efficiency, and overall performance.
