Pros

Good product. Great talent. Great place to star your career. You may progress if you are not perceived as stepping in anyone's toes. Office in Madrid is awesome.

Cons

Toxic internal politics. Dishonest management. Lack of focus. Poor execution. Lack of business vision and direction, management with poor judgment. Poor work/life balance. Company gets rid of valuable employees out of the blue. It doesn't matter what you do, or your contribution. If you get in the way of the wrong person, you are out.

Pros

Maps are really cool and the product was interesting. Remote first.

Cons

The leadership team is lost. The company is 10 years old and struggling to find its sales positioning or growth. Startups need to grow to live….I’m not convinced there is any vision or competitive spirit to win in the space or set their employees up for success. The leadership will blame you, and then ensure you are out the door and take no accountability. This is not a company I would recommend. I would look at the tenure of the senior leaders as a representation of the current state of affairs.
