Pros

Great Mission Can look good externally. Amazing coworkers/engineers end up here but leave soon.

Cons

Terrible workplace culture. the current C level suite, the ones who haven't left that is, (CTO and then CEO) lack empathy and are not honest. Not a single founding member beside the CEO is left. There is no board for regulation, so best bet is to become friends with them, as they hire and promote those all the time. I would still get everything in writing.

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.
