Pros

- The underlying technology is decent.

Cons

- Incredibly toxic organization. Abusive behavior is tolerated and even encouraged. - A general lack of accountability. People here think they are infallible. Products are routinely shipped out with zero testing and it shows. When issues arise, people get defensive and deflect blame to others no matter what the causes are. - Absolutely no work life balance. You are expected to respond to Slack messages no matter what time of day or night. You are expected to work nights and weekends, even for non-urgent tasks. - Incompetent middle management. - No sense of career progression. - Company leadership is a mess. Frequent turnover at the VP level, presumably because of all these issues. - Mendel has been around for 8 whole years and has yet to have a defined product. Company focus pivots multiple times a year at a moments notice. Projects are constantly started and scratched on whims. As a result we aren’t able to get any traction.
