Pros
A good foundational product and people who want to make the company what it once was. Used to have great benefits eg unlimited PTO but these have changed. Inspiring CEO but sadly out of touch with real employees now. A great culture but it’s been sacrificed for growth. Some folks still believe in remote and async values but this is broadly gone.
Cons
The desperation for series C has meant ruthless cutting of staff (three rounds of layoffs in 2 years + lots of firing) and zero regard for compensation changes and HR best practices. Was without an HR dept for a couple of years and no performance reviews. Salaries are incredibly variable based on where you live with ~$100k disparity between team members on the same responsibility level. They won’t hire in many EU countries due to employment laws around wellbeing etc. The company keeps changing its strategy and goals, then doesn’t give the team time to enact these, says they’re not working and does another ‘restructure’. They use people as scapegoats for poor planning and leadership.
