Pros

Free lunch, great product, fast moving engineering team

Cons

- Managers are inexperienced. They don't give you any feedback, they take over your deals (not always for the better), and they micro manage. Their focus is their success, not yours. - Hiring too quickly - Zero job security and you are constantly threatened with a performance plan - Frat boy culture - HR violations against women not taken seriously and leaders fail to acknowledge problem - You are treated like a number - Expect to spend your entire day cold calling

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
