Pros

The company is so disorganized that most people don’t know what you are working on. You can just act busy and keep quiet.

Cons

This is a bad place to be a developer. You will not get to write code. You will only fix bugs and everything is an emergency. They don't care about engineering and think the entire team is an unnecessary expense. The engineering team reports to the head of product and he doesn't understand how to turn his computer on without help. They laid off most of engineering in March and have been hiring back to rebuild. This is a lie. They are hiring because the platform is falling apart and they need more people to apply bandaids. Any smart engineers that get tricked into joining are rewarded with long days full of bugs and unreasonable deadlines. Most burnout and quit even after only a few months.

Mass Layoff

Pros

Self-Evolve your own skills because no one is there to give you proper guidance.

Cons

The company did mass layoff from both Sales and Engineering department. Current CPO has no idea of the product, and fired high skilled engineers because he can because he is from Harvard University. The company have huge turned over rate and everyone is leaving the company every week. Unlimited PTO is a complete lie. There is no work-life balance working for this company because the company is too small and demand is more. They are cheap to hire high skill team and have team of 1-2 in each department, and few contractors.
