Pros

Competitive base salary, lots of funding.

Cons

CEO does not understand product, software, or people. CEO does not trust full-time employees and instead relies on part-time (10hr/week) advisors to make key decisions. Very few people stay longer than 1 year. Lots of offshore contractors. No transparency.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Feedback is valuable to us so that we can improve. We face the same challenges that many other companies currently face recruiting engineering talent, and building a full bench onshore team with a great culture is a top priority. We have recently been able to bring new full-time management and onshore team members which will significantly accelerate our ability to execute. We wish you the best and appreciate your contributions to building a product that helps people understand how our body uniquely responds to food and build better habits.
