Pros

Some great people Really interesting product Share scheme means if they ever exit you could get paid out The pay is decent

Cons

There has been some terrible messaging around job losses at the company One day no more job cuts is the message and the next, more job cuts Leadership supposedly rejected a fund raise leading to cost cutting across the business Whilst they're smart people at the top, they don't know how to run a great company. It's time to step back and put someone external in charge to put the structure in place to take the business to unicorn status (if it's possible to get there).
