Pros

There are some genuinely good people. The space they operate in is pretty cool.

Cons

FYI: Notice how the positive reviews are like canned responses with the same dialogue? That it's a fast-paced environment and that its a growing company that isn't for everyone. If you thought those sounded like ChatGPT responses, you might be right because they are definitely not real. Want to work where you can exceed expectations in every aspect of the job description and still be told your underperforming with no proof, based on subjective reasoning? This is the place for you. Want to work for a sinking ship with not guidance? Perfect. Want to experience what its like to be completely and utterly demotivated by so-called leaders and "experts" ? Sign up now. Want to be told you have decision making power but then when you make a decision, be told that someone else's decision is more valid despite the data saying the opposite? You'll love it here. Want to have benefits stripped away and then be told that you need to focus on your mental health? It's getting really good now. Want to work somewhere where being empathetic and is less valued than generating revenue? Ever wanted to ride on the titanic as it sank but missed your opportunity? You can get the same feeling. Take a moment and look at the most "helpful" reviews. Because they are the ones you need to pay attention to. If you value your career and your sanity, and you are anything other than an uber-arrogant engineer or so-called expert then just don't do it.

No safety here - not even for the founder

Pros

Many many many great people at the IC level and middle management. Good branding - they really are snakes. 🐍

Cons

As the title says there is no safety here. Since April of 2023 it has felt like psychological warfare. Executive leadership is doing everything they can to break you down, leaving you hopeless for the future and afraid for your job. A perfect example of this was announcing that there would be a 10% RIF the following week on the Friday before Memorial Day. They have decimated the benefits. The new CEO, who executed a coup and took over, is a sociopath who only values how rich he can make himself. He frequently remarks about firing people and often times does. On top of that, he really has no idea what he’s doing. He’s got his head so far up his McKinsey background, he can’t see he’s got the plane in a nosedive. Or maybe he knows and it’s intentional. Either way, I don’t see how this ends well.

Pros

Fully remote, the company is appropriately named, it will crush your career and squeeze the life out of you just like a real anaconda.

Cons

Please scroll through the reviews! The number of suspiciously generic and similar positive reviews is concerning, looks like the company is trying to hide the honest reviews. Do you want to work for a company that announces a company wide trip to Cancun one moment and the next moment, layoffs!? Do want to work for a company that had multiple employees leave without finding another job first, even in this tough tech economy? Do you want to work for a company that just had multiple executives pushed out? Do you want to work for a company with executives and senior leadership that have no sense of strategy? Just focusing on the next shiny object. Do you want to work for a company that acquired another company immediately after doing a another round of layoffs? Do you want to work for a company that over-hired in 2022 and is now trying quickly push employees out by slashing benefits? Do you want to work for a company that is slashing benefit after benefit? Any one of those questions would be concerning for a company but to have all those questions hanging over them? Not a company to consider, BEWARE! This is a tough job market, make an informed decision, please read all the reviews!
