Pros

Some great and talented people working there, that truly care about the mission and work hard.

Cons

All of the cons stem from the current toxic CEO and founder. Countless talented staff left purely as a result of how he treated them - sadly he is revenue obsessed and only cares about how we can squeeze as much money out of the employers and freelancers - to the extent of using whatever dark patterns and tricks to do so. His idea of motivation is to publicly shame employees by email in front of the whole company - will never praise, and has a very autocratic style of management. If you can avoid any interactions with the CEO or those around him, you might have a better experience - but for most I'd recommend avoiding this place until the CEO leaves (which is unlikely as he's the founder).
