Pros

Great pay Free snacks and caterings Good location We gave children who had chronic illnesses a tour around our building and it was really great. Had good experience with co-workers Employees come from all walks of life and countries

Cons

The manager that was in charge of us demanded that we have a set quota on the amount of content and accounts moderated each day, even going as far as to banning users off the platform who clearly have done nothing that violated our Trust & Safety policies, and just to let our appeals department to deal with the user's service termination appeal which takes weeks to get something done for those users we wrongly ban to meet the quota. Half of our content moderation team are outsourced contractors in India, so you can imagine why we have a bad reputation for our customer support. Upper management lacked any transparency, was told by my manager to not talk about our salary with our co-workers even though it is against the law to tell your employees not to discuss about it. I had a great experience with my co-workers but the higher ups and managements lacked any communications and transparency with us, the only time we had any real transparency was during meetings yet we were afraid to ask any questions that may question their abuse of authority over us that may threaten to let us go. Most of my co-workers only stayed for the stocks. The way we were required to treat the platform's users with clearly false reasons of termination of their service just to meet the required quota the managers told us to meet if we couldn't reach it with legitimate reasons was the last straw.

Pros

The company already has amazing product-market fit and a killer growth trajectory, although since it's seen as a "kids product", it's very overlooked by tech media. Add to that, the CEO is the boldest thinker I have encountered in 10+ years in tech. He invests the long-term right thing to do over the short-term gimmick every single time, and it has paid off with sustained growth and remarkable technology. Add to that, since it's a "kids product" a lot of the people who work here are parents, which gives the whole place a very mature and work/life friendly vibe. I almost didn't work here because I worried it wasn't "A-list", but I'm very glad I took the offer. I wish I could give 2 thumbs up for the 6-month business outlook. Talent here & comp are just as good as better-known companies, and honestly the upside here is better than most.

Cons

It's a fast-growing startup, which means that everyone has to get their hands dirty, and process/org/priorities can change pretty quickly (like, overnight). It's a constant learning curve, and requires a certain amount of go-with-the-flow attitude. Some of the senior leaders are still growing into their level of responsibility.
