Cons
I'm sharing this in hopes of saving fellow top talent from wasting their time with this company. Although there are some incredibly smart individuals at this company, there is one downside: the CEO. I encourage everyone to read the bad reviews for this company. Keep in mind, these reviews are 4 years ago, 4 YEARS. You can probably guess what I'm about to say: nothing has changed. The CEO is very good at convincing you to believe in the product (I mean, he's worked on it for over 5 years already..). During your initial interview, he will seem very passionate about the product and really sell it to you, but do not buy this. This is just a facade and his true colors will be revealed once you join. You'll see that there is actually no direction, no go to market strategy, just build features upon endless features until the app is bloated. And once the app becomes bloated? The CEO will start blaming some of the sr. engineers wondering why the product is going nowhere, will keep saying the product doesn't work and starts blaming the technology when he was the one requesting all these features. You can try to have a debate with him and end up nowhere. He has a firm belief that when a technology does not work, if you refactor it to hell, you'll somehow end up with the right thing. At the end of the day, this CEO will micromanage you to death because if he can't understand what you're doing, he will assume you're a bad employee and start blaming you along with the technology. They have a great product, a really unique idea, unfortunately it is run by someone who doesn't know how to sell it to the market (look up a company called 'oodrive' and you'll see what I mean). Again, I can't stress this enough, READ the previous reviews from 4 years ago. To my horror, they all became true and as the saying goes: old habits die hard.
