Presso Reviews

It's difficult to know where to begin. Working here involved daily challenges, many of which stemmed from having to navigate indecision and manipulation, often from those in leadership positions who are easily influenced by misleading individuals. This kind of workplace instability made each day exhausting and emotionally draining. I can truthfully say, I have been traumatized by working at this organization. One of the most disheartening experiences was being told that “I think you are great in meetings, when you just don't talk-- that makes for a great meeting” — feedback that seemed to be applied selectively, as I never saw my male colleagues treated similarly. It felt like my voice wasn’t just devalued, but actively silenced. Even more troubling was what happened when I tried to raise a serious concern. I approached the CEO — who was also my direct supervisor — to express that I didn’t feel safe around a particular employee, and I was actively trying to discuss an incident involving sexual assault. I was told he didn’t want to hear it because he "doesn’t like emotion or drama." This response made it clear that the company was not a safe space for women. Additionally, many of the claims made about the company’s machine technology and capabilities are exaggerated or untrue, making it difficult to stand behind the product or trust leadership. The culture here is not only dismissive — especially toward women — but actively harmful. I cannot in good conscience recommend working at this company to anyone.

no clear direction, no goals for the product, laid off engineering and HR including head of engineering with no prior warning, no severance, extremely high turnover, cofounders don't have prior experience
