Pros

A few helpful colleagues who tried to make training workable Initial flexibility around month-end office days (before policy changes)

Cons

Role and culture did not match the interview pitch 14–16 hour days; under-resourced team Persistent micromanagement and unclear authority lines Inconsistent training support (no recording of sessions) Abrupt 4-day RTO with limited, inconsistently applied exemptions HR unresponsiveness; no exit interview Frequent layoffs since April 2024; ongoing uncertainty Perks reduced after being advertised AI/process push felt aimed at cost cuts, not employee enablement

Pros

Fantastic culture. Full of young, hungry, and smart people. Product is excellent. Growth oriented business model. Very bright future ahead. I wouldn’t have left if I didn’t get recruited for a much more lucrative opportunity.

Cons

The operations side of the business carries less work/life balance. Pushing for RTO but has several offices across the country.
