Pros

Tienen un producto y una infraestructura técnica muy avanzada que te impulsa a crecer profesionalmente.

Cons

Durante mi tiempo en la empresa pude notar que existe un ambiente laboral de alta presión, en el que las expectativas suelen superar de manera constante los límites razonables de desempeño. Aun cumpliendo con los ritmos de entrega promedio, el mensaje que se transmite es que nunca es suficiente, lo cual termina generando desgaste y un sentimiento permanente de amenaza laboral. Es común que, ante cualquier desviación o desacuerdo, se implementen “procesos de mejora” que en la práctica funcionan como una antesala a la desvinculación. Estos procesos, lejos de acompañar al colaborador, suelen aumentar la carga de trabajo y la presión psicológica, lo que lleva a que muchos terminen renunciando. También existe una rotación considerable de personal; he visto equipos donde más de una docena de personas fueron despedidas en un mismo año. Esto genera un entorno de miedo e inseguridad, donde incluso los compañeros pueden sentirse obligados a “vender” a otros para conservar su puesto. Se percibe una estructura interna de favoritismos o “roscas” que dificultan la transparencia y la colaboración genuina. Finalmente, la cultura de trabajo tiende a normalizar horarios extendidos y entregas nocturnas —con despliegues hasta las 10 p. m. y dailies a las 9 a. m.— sin reconocer el impacto que esto tiene en el bienestar de los empleados. Además, proponer nuevas iniciativas puede terminar siendo contraproducente, ya que se transforman en exigencias adicionales sin el apoyo necesario, lo que genera un ambiente de frustración y desmotivación.

Pros

Remote work across APAC & Global regions.

Cons

- 3 Layoffs in 5 months - Poor Leadership, Alejo & Santiago got no vision. They were doing technology service and put it together as a product and the product is crap. They got massive funding, but their expansion goals failed miserable. Their expansion in India is really a huge failure. The leadership couldn't understand the market and the culture, and they shutdown the entity within 9 months. If you are in India, Please don't join this company. Such a pathetic experience for all the India Employees. Look at all the other online reviews and reach out to the BD/Sales Team before joining.

Pros

There are a few good people that work here. They are smart, good natured, and are willing to help.

Cons

Strategy volatility → execution churn. During my tenure, goals and priorities changed mid-cycle multiple times, leading to context switching and missed commitments. Top-down decision-making with limited accountability. Misses were often framed as execution issues rather than strategy misalignment, which discouraged constructive dissent. Abrupt reorganizations and RIFs. Several org changes landed with short notice, sometimes dissolving entire pods with minimal knowledge transfer creating operational gaps and burnout. Change management and documentation are weak. Processes trail decisions; teams spend time rediscovering “how we do X” instead of executing. No psychological safety. Speaking up can be interpreted as misalignment, which reduces the quality of debate. If you need stable goals, transparent decision-making, and thoughtful change management, this environment will likely frustrate you. Don't work here, not recommended, stay far away,
