Pros

Great compensation & benefits. Wonderful colleagues who really try to help each other. Good offices (pre-Covid) with free snacks. Very transparent and open culture. Leadership are accessible (they're human beings you can talk to, not distant figures who you never come in contact with). Never boring, there's too much to do to get bored.

Cons

There's a lot to do, all the time. We're victims of our own success in some ways, the better the company does, the more we expect ourselves to overachieve next time. To some extent, there are pockets of people who want their opinions to be heard in anything and everything. Nothing bad about this, it's great that our people care, but we're scaling quickly and need to learn to let go of some of this stuff and focus on what matters.

Hi there - LOVE this feedback, thank you for taking the time to submit your review, and this thoughtful feedback! Hyperscaling is hard, we don't always get it perfectly right, and this advice is really much appreciated

The pay, the people, the benefits

They're a non-public, start-up company, they had layoffs which is always scary.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
