Pros

Remote, some coworkers were nice, it WAS diverse.

Cons

Where to start... the organizations leaders do not know how to lead. One minute you'll have fantastic feedback and told you're doing great then the next you'll be let go. I was employed and met expectations the entire employment. Launched multiple large projects and was talking often in my 1:1 about my career path. They ask you to help interview new candidates and then take virtually 0 feedback about your experience with the candidate. Which will lead to you having to teach new employees things they lied and said they did know how to do. What else... oh upper management will just cancel meetings and avoid talking to you - that's how you know your time is coming up. There is almost NO constructive feedback, they wait until you mess up and then use that as reasons to discipline. They say "move fast and make mistakes" but don't actually live up to the motto. I found myself going to work everyday with anxiety not knowing if I was doing enough or not. Management speaks extremely vulgar in meetings and talks distastefully about other employees and firms they work with. When you try to celebrate diversity you'll be met with adversity and told the company has no right to make stances, on basic human rights mind you, and we can celebrate behind closed doors. Wonder why everyone knows each other so well? They all used to be coworkers and it's a big part of the culture. If you're not one of them you're on the outside. also they don't respect your time zone specific working hours. If you've made it this far and still choose to go through with your interview... goodluck lol.

Pros

There are maybe three people who actually care about you and want to see you do well.

Cons

Any positive reviews about this company are fake. Like another reviewer said, it's all smoke and mirrors. Most of the time, they're selling you a solution that does not exist yet, and then the CEO asks you to build it in less than a month. Seriously, if you're an employee, customer, or prospect–stay far away from this company. It is a sinking ship. Everyone who works here is extremely stressed out. The CEO does not trust his employees to do their jobs. He acts like a Sales Leader, a Marketer, an Engineer, and everything in between, so I'm not sure when he has time for CEO-duties. There is also ZERO diversity. Everyone here is white and hired on referrals. It's ironic, they refuse to post external job listings or give equal opportunities to others. What I've learned since leaving this company? There is a better world out there. Life can be beautiful. Other companies, even start-ups, do not operate like this. This culture is toxic. Everyone who works here is truly under a spell. There is a better world out there, and I hope they get to see it one day.
