Pros

Lots of really smart and modest engineers working here. Cool to work with early employees of successful companies like Google/FB/Twitter. Work-life balance is much better than companies of similar size.

Cons

The office is located in SOMA, which is not the safest area in SF. The new office is cool, but feels more like a large company than a startup.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
