Pros

Smart people, great product, and open culture. Working environment is great.

Cons

1. Bad vision on product road-map. Not consistent in the definition of future projects. 2. Growth too fast, hired too many people in the past two years. 3. Managers are playing politics more than focusing on product development. 4. Spent too much in marketing with little return. 5. Revenue is dropping resulting in layoffs.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
