Pros

Interesting work environment where people seem highly motivated. Cutting edge tech is fun to develop. There are very few “normal” days.

Cons

Very blatant discrimination against women; there are 0 women in upper management. The C-suite is all men who are friends or family of the CEO. Goals and initiatives seem short-sighted. Many people get fired over budget cuts or layoffs at random so that the finance people are happier or the jobs page is “always hiring” new roles. Something like 20% of staff are fired every year. The equity/stocks are worthless because still has no profitable products and is only surviving on private investment.

Pros

None, none, none, none, none

Cons

Incredibly toxic work environment. The current manager has it out for his employees; gaslights them, reports them to HR for literally anything. Don’t work here

Pros

Interesting product. Work alongside some pretty smart, dedicated people.

Cons

- Overworked. You literally be contacted by management if you're not clocking min. 50 hrs/week - Tight deadlines that you are expected to meet with little resources. Deadlines are adjusted 50% of the time anyways - Managers undermine employees and make them feel stupid. I literally witnessed my manager calling one of my coworkers "not that smart" in a meeting of 8 other people - Considering the hours most people work (50-60 per week), the salary and benefits are not competitive enough
