Pros

-Strong salary -Most employees work fully remote

Cons

-Recently executed a round of company wide layoffs -Unpredictable and destructive in leadership's decision making -Overworked employees across all teams -It's telling that the Glassdoor rating is a 1.8. Trust that number. Would not recommend working here.

Pros

Fast-paced environment with smart people who work hard. You get real ownership, can have your fingerprints on important projects, and see your work ship quickly without layers of red tape. Strong product-market fit, and a high bar with room to grow.

Cons

Because it’s a startup, priorities can shift quickly and direction is sometimes vague, since we have to move fast toward wherever the biggest opportunity is. That can be exciting if you like ambiguity and building the plane while flying it, but frustrating if you prefer very stable roadmaps and long-term planning.

Pros

Company is growing fast and there is a lot of latitude to make what you want out of our your role and lean into your skills. A lot of freedom to own certain areas and try new things. Not a lot of middle management means flexibility

Cons

Leaning into AI extremely heavily as caused some skepticism on where AI is at versus what we'd like it do.
