Pros

Strong sense of mission and purpose; teams genuinely care about serving customers and building impactful products Transparent and communicative executive leadership; regular updates on business health, priorities, and direction Monthly all-hands provide visibility into company progress, recognition of high performers, and open Q&A Very high performance bar—great environment for motivated self-starters and builders Opportunity to work on innovative, “category-defining” products that can change how things are done

Cons

High intensity comes with long and sometimes unpredictable hours Lean teams and limited redundancy can increase workload and pressure Fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment may not suit those looking for strict work-life balance or a slower pace

Pros

Free food that is about it.

Cons

Management is very very poor. nepotism referrals no experience or bad experience from small companies. I worked in about a dozen places too. This place takes the cake as the worst management. All their manufacturing lines are designed horribly. Some people don't speak English well here can't communicate ideas. They get all pissed off when you ask questions low EQ if you are trying to understand something deeper. High turnover job they slander you. People joking before the shift about how we all are going to get fired before the start of the shift
