Pros

- Fully remote and distributed (if you love remote working this company is for you) - Capacity to learn and grow - Super Colleagues (literally everyone I've worked with has been friendly, helpful and warm) - The product will become bigger; if you want to be part of something that will change the way the world works, it’s a great time to join. - Great equipment was given to work on.

Cons

- So many meetings (You are not required to attend all of them as they are recorded. But you still feel like your missing out if you need miss any) - PeopleOps need more help - A-sync work is not for everyone - Everyone is busy so getting reviews/feedback can be at times frustrating

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
