Pros

Flexible work hours, cool product, difficult engineering challenges

Cons

Culture promotes burnout and criticism. Codebase and code quality isn’t prioritised at all, and systemic issues are met with “skill issue”. Ideas aren’t approved based on merit but on clout

Pros

- Paid company events, the most significant being the multi-day offsite. - Complex and interesting product, with many technical challenges - A few nice and competent colleagues - Flexible working conditions

Cons

- Very controlling CEO, who insists on fine-grained control on all projects. - Manipulation and bullying in work culture - If you please the CEO, he will give you what you want. Otherwise you'll be disciplined. - Unpaid overtime expected - Things that challenge the notion that the CEO is exceptional will be met with intense covert hostility. - Ideas will be stolen (used without credit) - Uneven compensation - No path for career development for junior engineers
