Pros

The best part about working here is the people: All the way from the company leadership to the engineering leadership, to the individual engineers I interacted with, everyone is transparent, passionate and genuinely kind. The company has the financial runway needed to test ideas without red tape, making it a playground for innovation. Never seen such an open culture before. Plus, the health insurance benefits, the travel and fitness allowances and paid lunch options are better than what even bigger companies offer

Cons

They are still trying to find the product-market fit. I think they found it this time and the next thing left is execution.

Pros

The engineering infrastructure was solid. People on my immediate team were genuinely good at their jobs.

Cons

• Important decisions were hidden, and I was constantly left in the dark. • Priorities changed without explanation or clear goals. • Questions were met with vague answers and empty requests to "trust us." • Weeks of work were wasted on features that were abruptly canceled. • The constant secrecy made it impossible to stay invested. • By month eight, I stopped trying to understand what was happening.
