Pros

- Met a lot of great people working here

Cons

- Very high turnover rate - Engineers are told to build useless features that no one will ever use. - No market research or user surveys were done. Most of the product that was being built was all based on the CEO's intuition. - Company wasted a lot of resources hiring a bunch of sales and marketing people to sell something that is not functional. - Lack of transparency between upper management and the employees - CEO will make very questionable technical decisions. Most of the time he will disregard other senior engineer's opinions. Honestly, just stay away from this company. Upper management makes it sound like everything is okay and that the company is doing well, but in reality everyone knows that it's not and they choose not to communicate that. Lack of transparency, poor decision making/planning, and spending tons of money in unnecessary places has led to them laying off more than 50% of the company during the worst time possible.

Pros

Interesting tech stack. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

Less than one week into the Coronavirus pandemic shut down management decided to fire half the staff with no notice. This was after raising 10 million a few months ago. This company can't be trusted. Anyone still at this company should be working on their resume.

Pros

Good work/life balance. Solid developers.

Cons

Without any real customers, their leadership spent a couple of years pretending to have found product-market fit instead of listening to their own people while burning through lots of cash from their investors and services/dev shop business. Once they suddenly (?) realized that they don't have enough runway left having spent tons of money in marketing/sales, they let more than half of their staff go in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis.
