Pros

* The problems we're trying to solve are engaging * Smart people in the engineering department

Cons

- Management is terrible. It used to be OK, but since last January, everything started to fall apart. - We are constantly losing talent due to the awful decision and the lack of effort in retention. - The new CPO has *0* empathy and is always in "attack" mode. She doesn't care about people (which is ridiculous for the role she has). She's always trying to take advantage of her power position. - Salary is way below what you could get in similarly staged start-ups in the Bay Area.

Pros

The company works on genuinely interesting and technically engaging projects, including AI-related initiatives and cross-functional collaboration. There are many talented and motivated individuals across teams, and employees can gain exposure to a wide variety of business challenges in a fast-paced environment. It can be a strong learning experience for people who thrive in dynamic settings.

Cons

Leadership within the People function has created challenges for employee experience and morale. There is a strong tendency toward micromanagement, which can make it difficult for teams to operate autonomously and efficiently. Communication and decision-making processes sometimes feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day work, leading to frustration and reduced trust in HR processes. There also appears to be limited alignment between leadership oversight and practical understanding of how AI tools are used within teams, particularly when AI-related work is incorporated into performance evaluation discussions. This has caused confusion and skepticism among employees. Overall, the company has strong technical talent and interesting work, but cultural and leadership issues within the People organization negatively impact retention and employee satisfaction.
