Not the company it once was

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work hours, emphasis on async and delivering results rather than time online/behind a desk, incredibly talented team of individuals from all walks of life, company genuinely cares about all forms of diversity and emphasizes the importance of mental health

Cons

Typical growing pain for a late-stage company, but the company values (collaboration, results, efficiency, DIB, iteration, transparency), particularly iteration and transparency, are quickly becoming obsolete. Leadership can be particularly prickly to work with, many positions lack actual and obtainable growth opportunities
