Pros

Cool product, exciting mission, decent pay

Cons

This company has a few leaders who are untouchable, and it's been a growing problem the last few years. They have very little industry or leadership experience. Anyone who argues with them too much or does anything different than their style gets reprimanded. Do not try to be anything other than a hustling worker bee here, you will be shut down. Certain leaders even try to fish out who gave negative feedback on quarterly surveys. Can't talk to HR, they just say there's nothing they can do. It's incredibly toxic and so many people feel like they can't complain or they'll get fired. Cherry on top is that these people don't have much experience outside of here so they have no clue how to make a good product or team other than the latest blog post they read. If you have more experience and try to help with constructive feedback? Get reprimanded.

Pros

The work and mission is fulfilling. The culture is endearing as long as you don't dig too deep.

Cons

Many of those in leadership positions are immature, shameless or just have to be right about everything. They overrule and have chased away good talent. It's a nearly 10 year old startup. Those present from beginning are the authority of everything to the companies detriment.
