Pros

- Remote work - As long as you're in PDT or EST. - Engineer first - Lots of engineers, very few managers, designers, product etc. - Lumpsum HSA - They offer low 4 figures of medical pay. No insurance.

Cons

- Remote isolation - By design, they have kept things such that no one knows what their colleagues are working on. So when they let go of people, no one knows what really happened. - Gaslighting - As the other reviewers have rightly pointed out, they send special mails and messages to you on slack, saying how good your work is. Then the moment the project ends, if there's no other project, you are on the chopping block. - Burnout - Working 10-12 hours a day is a common thing. If you don't work that much, next thing you are in a call with HR with the same "We only want CEO Founders in our company" pre-recorded bit before firing. - Unlimited leave - Anything more than a few days and they ask you to go on "unpaid" leave. No leave can be encashed upon leaving. - International trips - Just one single trip in 4 years of existence, that too was delayed by 8 months(counting eggs before they hatch as rightly pointed out by another reviewer). Only for people living in Toronto and Vancouver. Rest all, sorry you are out of budget. - Questionable Ethics - If you see the other positive reviews, they have a similar pattern of great things followed by "improve processes" and making snide remarks of people who know "React and React Native" - No genuine engineer will ever do that.

Pros

- The intent to make employees shine and have positive impact - Positivity meetings to engage employees and contractors to pursue goals - Worked with some smart team members, clients and managers - Lunch and learn experts come in and talk about their challenges or perspectives in their industry

Cons

- No real goal or direction. It is essentially a staffing agency start up. It has no distinguishable traits or differentiating business models that make it an attractive alternative to agencies that have existed for far longer - The leaders often grand stand inwards and outwards, portraying the importance of the company in which benefits no one but themselves. They essentially like to hear themselves talk while everyone else listens. Its evident in meetings when people have no questions or comments at the end of these meetings. Eg. Publicly announce a company trip via social media for all employees to do remote work at a nice location then cancel the trip 3+ times with no real definitive plan. Counting your eggs before they hatch - The illusion of choice. You are told there are many options to choose between the type of work you do and the people you work with, but in reality there are only a handful of clients, sometimes you only have 1-2 options and its either sink or swim. You either get a good client or a bad client. You really don't know what you're getting into - No reliability on job security - No prospects of leveling up your position cause this isn't that type of company - The need for specialists or experimental roles to solve their operational failures and guise them behind new positions to grow your career, often times stressing or overburdening a person with a large work load with little gains - You get no benefits, RSU or bonuses if you take the contractor approach. This is the most common type of employment they provide to everyone they staff and they push you towards this type - Mostly male dominated company, diversity is not a priority.

Pros

1. Feel good - They make you "think" they care about engineers and you can "talk to them if you have a problem". 2. Unlimited leave - So when they fire you they don't have to pay you.

Cons

After 1 month of joining and working on a project for 2 weeks, COO and HR get on a 15 min call with me and say "You are not a Founder CEO, we only want CEOs, so we are letting you go, as leaves are unlimited you will not get paid" I was shocked but then even the person firing me is not a Founder CEO. I ask is it just me, then they say that "We are letting off 1-2 people slowly so we are not in the news in Linkedin for layoffs" 1. Promised immigration but told lies. 2. Promised projects but told lies and offered nothing. I have more experience than the person who fired me. 3. Firing people but founder is creating Linkedin post saying we are hiring people(which is also lies). 4. Intentionally gaslighting employees in Townhall saying we are not firing people, here's 10k for hiring people.
