Exciting environment. Surrounded by smart people. Lots of autonomy and interesting work to go around. Good work-life balance. Free lunch.

A bit hectic at times, with company goals seeming to switch on a dime, but is to be expected in this type of environment.

Pros

People were great to work with - friendly and hardworking

Cons

Leadership was poor - many bad strategic decisions, suppressed opinions of those that disagreed and presented better paths forward, weaponised company values against individuals (CPO). Doesn't matter now - the company doesn't exist anymore.
