Pros

Brilliant Team - you will learn from and be pushed by this team: CEO already has a successful exit, VP of engineering used to report to Elon Musk at SpaceX, engineers hold patents and one even wrote the book on Elixir Solving Big Problems - if you’ve had to say “what was that again” on a zoom call in the last year you already understand that today’s internet can be painful, what you may not be as familiar with is that it can be 5x worse in some parts of the globe, Subspace is looking to solve real time performance everywhere Wide Scope - because the problem we are trying to solve is so big, there is more work to go around than people to do it, your role is as big as you want to make it

Cons

Sink or Swim - while there is opportunity to have a wide scope, there isn’t a ton of hand holding or HR type programs in place to help you thrive in your role Near Term Clarity - while it’s clear where we want to be in the next few years, it can feel thrash-y if you aren’t used to an early stage startup environment

Pros

Working with smart people working, everyone wants to align with the company goals. The pay is lower than average than most opportunities in the market. You can work remote.

Cons

Working here was the most unprofessional and unethical experience. The disappointing part is that the ones in charge are the ones committing the illicit behavior. Since they chose not to listen to make the appropriate changes, I hope it will help someone else not make the same mistake in joining this company. The Leadership, founders CEO and CTO lack etiquette, professionalism, and integrity. Additionally, the company pivots to multiple markets as the gaming space is gaining enough traction. Take your time to look up the background of the founders. They are empty suits. I am surprised by the primary investors that have invested in this startup offering vaporware. They justify their radical behavior as having a "positive mindset," and everyone else has a "bad mindset." The best advice to anyone looking to join Subspace this company will not be around for much longer. They lack Leadership and strategic focus. The software was a good concept but has failed miserably in product execution. Their competitors are priced and staffed accordingly, so other competitors are moving ahead, and Subspace is falling behind quickly.
