Pros

Nice office (even though its next to train track that's really loud and interrupts your works a lot) lunch, snacks, drinks. Typical start-up perks

Cons

Where do I even begin... First - Interview - Unorganized, and they REALLY don't care about you. You have to act like the interviewers are on a pedestal. Male egos...male egos everywhere. They didn't ask me too much about my background, it was mainly what they've done and accomplished, and how you par-up to them. The whole "team-oriented" message they spew went out the window when I walked in for an interview. No one thought to introduce themselves - a good look as to what was to come. My last interviewer was pretty insecure about himself but again, you have to act like they are the best Second - The first day on the job - typical onboarding stuff, it was a lot, but so is any job. Third - A couple of months in - If you are the type to work endlessly, this place is for you. Overall - I left for a competitor with better tech, better funding, better pay, and work-life balance. Do your research, you will be happy you did.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
