Please browse through some reviews to get a sense. You’ll find the answer is: none.

The company has got to the stage where it is all about keeping the lights on, survive the next quarter. But who is the survival for? Layoffs used to be an annual thing. Then it was every six months. And now it’s just rolling, nonstop layoffs. Any given day you can find someone deactivated on Slack. It could be someone who was here for a few months or someone who was here from the beginning, having poured their heart and soul into this place. So what does surviving next quarter mean? It means the CEO and his hand picked buddies brought in by him. Along with some other old toxic and political actors who serve the ego of the CEO. It is all about that these folks can earn their hefty paychecks for some more time.
