Pros

Pays a salary that can be used in exchange for goods and services

Cons

Where to start? First off, don't trust any of the reviews here. New hires are *strongly* encouraged to leave a review within their first month. The culture is rotten from the top down. The obsession over the company values is like something out of a cult. This place is a whirlpool of constantly shifting priorities based on the whims of the exec team. The baseline expectation for employees is 50-60 hours a week. The latest are sweeping AI mandates where the expectation is that all devs increase "velocity" by 5-10x, ie a thinly veiled overtime mandate. Insane deadlines are thrown around to generate pressure to perform. Performance reviews are a farce. This is one of the most political workplaces I have ever had the misfortune to operate in. Devs need to spend an inordinate amount of time marketing themselves internally. EM's do not represent or defend their teams. Work itself is interesting at times, but things are also largely disorganized, poorly defined, and often have conflicting buy-in from execs. Priorities and staffing shift so often to the detriment of actually delivering anything, at least with any semblance of work life balance.

Inconsistent application of performance standards and expectations across team members • Frequent shifts in priorities without clear written alignment • Limited transparency around how QA scoring, activity metrics, and performance evaluations are measured • Heavy workload balancing multiple responsibilities (CSM + support + retention + operations) • Role leans more toward high-volume support than traditional Customer Success • Internal tools and systems created ongoing operational friction very manual work • Lack of clear escalation path outside of direct management when concerns arise • Noticeable turnover following leadership changes

Pros

There are some really great people here, and the company is addressing an important need. The compensation is decent.

Cons

It's worth noting that the company "strongly encourages" Glassdoor reviews from new hires, so the inflated score is a result of that. Here are the basics: - Fire first, ask questions later policy. Folks are frequently let go weeks or months after starting. Severance is below industry standard. - Guilt by association. Consistent cultural failure to take organizational accountability for the state of their systems. Daily incidents. Culture of public blame. - No accountability for non-engineers. Managers bully engineers into cutting vital corners on projects in the name of velocity, then do public executions when things break. These bullies are among the most celebrated people at the company. - Inconsistent support and advocacy for engineers means that performance over-rewards greenfield projects to a comical degree. Doing low visibility but important work on the bodypit of legacy systems the C-suite pretends don't exist is a death sentence. Almost 80% of firings all come from people working in same 20% of Owner's systems, but there's been zero critical thought about why that is.
