Pros

Competitive salary, great office location, full 3 meal lunch for 12$.

Cons

Disorganized, constant pivoting with an excuse of market shift, where in reality it's just a lack of strategy and vision. Toxic leadership, culture of fear, people are treated like disposable material. One senior IC is the one who decides on the technical side, dare to question or simply ask a question and you will be on your way out. You will be successful there if no matter what you agree with the co-founders and most importantly stay loyal to them. Challenging ideas is not welcomed.

Pros

- people working there are nice - challenging data problem - pay is good (but promotion cycles are not standardized)

Cons

- leadership does not trust employees except a few - lots of lies (external and internal) - leadership does not promote open conversation and genuine argumentation - leadership does not follow its own rules (guidebook) - leadership is not open to employee's suggestions and feedback - treats its employees like disposable commodities - constant layoffs (every 6 month-ish) - limited tech stack - no clear feedback loop for improvement and promotion cycles
