Pros

There are/were good people here-smart, committed, and doing their best under pressure. The concept behind the product has some potential, and you'll gain exposure to fast moving startup dynamics. If you're early in your career, you'll learn a lot-about resilience, boundaries, and what to look for (and avoid) in future leadership.

Cons

This review will likely be reported by those who have a well-documented pattern of flagging anything that doesn't align with the company's carefully crafted image. That instinct (to control perception at all costs) is not just a Glassdoor issue. It's embedded in the culture. Micromanagement runs deep, and autonomy is a mirage. Decisions are reactive, not strategic. There's a revolving door of talent. Not because people aren't capable, but because the environment is unsustainable. Leadership is erratic, priorities shift constantly, and the loudest fire always gets the focus. There's no real infrastructure, just firefighting and fatigue. Work life balance is virtually nonexistent. The culture subtly rewards performative availability, and there's an unspoken pressure to be online at all times. Boundaries are viewed as a lack of dedication. Compensation doesn't reflect the workload or the expectations, and meaningful wins are rare, often buried under the next crisis.

Pros

You get a chance to travel to new york city.

Cons

The company will likely flag this review for removal like all others, but here goes nothing. There are many things wrong with this company, but they can be summarized in: poor inexperienced leaders, flight or fight culture, lack of worklife balance, poor product vision. The leadership at this company has driven many people out the door unfortunately, very good hard working people have questioned their own self worth and professional self esteem due to the actions of Sailes. They offer very little but demand everything, all your free time, energy and patience. And when you are unwilling to give 100% of yourself to them, they will claim arent dedicated and you should look elsewhere. Its truly sad. Poorly led and managed, they need a professional CEO who can make a difference.
