Pros

It should be noted that Glassdoor incorrectly lists Todd Nelson as the current CEO. There was a change in CEO in 2024, and many of the negative reviews about the CEO and overall culture likely refer to how things were under that prior CEO's leadership (which was poor, in my opinion). Under the current CEO, I feel that the overall culture is now much more conducive to a positive work experience. I feel like I work for a pretty normal company now.

Cons

All too common life of a tech startup. During 2023-2024 the Company went through multiple rounds of downsizing after its post-IPO hiring spree failed to stick. Fortunately the company's size has been stable at about 40 employees for more than a year.
