Pros

Product and pitch Genuinely good entry talent looking for opportunity

Cons

The comments about trauma bonding are real. Why work for a company that cares so little for their employees? Unreal expectations. It’s not constant change for the better, it’s grasping at straws reactivity; inexperienced leaders led by egos and gut that they know better with no warning of moves and bad business fundamentals. All C-suite cut or quit in the past three years except founders. No stability. Any attempt to justify the strain on mental health for the trade of a promise of money is shortsighted and thus far has only resulted in broken promises and a revolving door of management.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
