Pros

Young company, fully remote in the US, decent health insurance

Cons

CEO tries to micromanage everyone in every department which pulls his time away from the important things --Expectations are based on EU market success which is not possible in the US. --No real training, you get thrown right in and are expected to succeed --Tech stack is terrible. They share passwords so they dont have to spend money on multiple users. --Product is very misleading and not truly Seiza's own product. It's held together by faith lol. Really hard to sell this product in the US since there is no real success to talk to.

Pros

It's disappointing to read some of the other reviews here, but also misleading. True, the company has had a lot of interns in the past - like any company with a presence in France. Universities there require 6 month internships as part of a degree, so the French co-founders actively participate in the top universities and support students with internships in both our Paris and SF offices. Many have made amazing contributions - as with our full-time employees, interns can take on as much responsibility as they want, getting access to people, information, operational insight about companies, etc that would never be possible in a huge company. That being said, if you've never worked in a startup before (and/or this is your first "real world" job), it can be overwhelming. Yes, we work hard, but we play hard too. And yes, because internships are for 6 month periods according to the university curriculum, there's turnover. Personally, I love the team, company culture, and most of all the startup spirit. If you want to be part of a team and have immediate and significant impact, and part of a tech company that will disrupt an industry and be really successful, this is the place!

Cons

Communication between teams can be confusing or disorganized, but this is improving. Less flashy/wasteful than some startups in terms of posh office furniture or luxe perks (unlimited PTO, free food - yes, but in-office massages for engineers, 10k for your dream computer etc - not so much).
