Pros

Great engineers who are willing to work hard for far less than they can make elsewhere. Great office location. Ping pong.

Cons

Founders are terrible people managers. Founders are authoritarian. Founders are not transparent with employees, investors or partners. Founders have no respect for employees, investors or partners. Founders have reached the point of dishonesty with employees, investors and partners.

Pros

Nice view and some friendly people. Frequent happy hours which are needed so that employees can drink away their sorrows. Flexible PTO

Cons

Inexperienced middle management (and upper management as well...) - Inflated job titles for "managers" with minimal professional or industry experience was a nightmare. Results in few learning opportunities and poorly performing teams. Highly unstructured in every way - You would think with all the funding there would be some business processes set up. I've seen 20 person companies with better infrastructures and processes. This is another byproduct of incompetent managers. Limited engineering resources - Even with the company prioritizing engineers over everyone else things move excruciatingly slowly as engineers are too afraid of the tyrant CEO to innovate. Interview process is a joke - Questions are often repeated across different interviewers and not focused on the role. As a result there are many unmotivated people that slack off. Pay is well below market rate with no room for negotiations

Thank you for the feedback. We're sad to hear you did not have a good experience here! We are rolling out employee development programs (career ladders, etc.) and another manager training to follow up on last year's. Best of luck in your future!

Pros

Ok benefit like 401k but still far from what is offered from other established companies.

Cons

Very rude middle management. Most managers here are people in their twenty’s and never work at other places other than wish; they don’t know how to properly communicate with respect and offers little help in your career development. With very limited industry experience, any advice to them would easily be treated as a challenge to their authority and turned down with excuses.

We appreciate your feedback! Sorry you had a negative experience here. We rolled out a 5-part manager training series this year to teach our managers to give constructive feedback, develop their teams, and improve their leadership skills. We've seen a noticeable impact so far.
