Pros
1) Flexible, work-from-home option (benefit that predates Covid). 2) Great benefits 3) Ample resources to do work at home 4) Friendly staff (with caveats listed in Cons)
Cons
1) Bad management and decision making in product and engineering. 2) Software is a mismanaged mess and a bottleneck to continued product development. 3) Culture is described by founders as empathetic; however I would more accurately describe it as giggly, immature, effeminate, and drinking the Kool-Aid. Not everyone behaves this way but enough to cringe. 4) Founders are averse to differing opinions, which has led to an inner circle of submissive management with limited thinking. 5) Company hides important investment and valuation numbers (such as total number of shares, yearly net profit, company valuation) that employees need to assess risk/reward when using their own money to exercise stock options. Instead we need to blindly hope for the stock part of our compensation.
