Pros
Amazing culture that promotes creativity and teamwork, set up well for remote/hybrid work, amazing products that people truly love and provides a good benefits/perks package.
Cons
Unfortunately, Ember is going through growing pains like most of the tech industry. It's understandable that managing growth had to be complicated with the boom/bust cycle of covid times vs. high interest rate times, however, it ultimately is the responsibility of the CEO/senior leadership to think ahead and manage risk. It's a really difficult situation when you endure two rounds of layoffs in the first few months of the year, immediately after building a new office space with custom skylights for a tree that was craned inside the office, five-figure coffee machines, custom fireplaces and other unnecessary large purchases such as this. It's difficult to truly believe in how senior leadership is running this company and hopefully they can learn from these mistakes and get things back on a successful path.
