Pros

Interviewing and working at Pulley has surpassed all of my expectations of what the company could be. From the very first interview, everyone has been friendly, proficient and engaged at their job, all while being incredibly humble. The company has a very strong culture, focused on principled thinking, building things correctly and really understanding the problem you are trying to solve. Pulley strongly believes in no-blame culture and making everyone succeed and rewarded for their hard work. Their interview process was refreshing and so much better than other traditional interviews. I'm excited to work for a company with such potential.

Cons

Honestly, nothing major. The company is growing really fast so I hope they can keep the same culture. They have some legacy tech debt but who doesn't. We are attacking it consistently and will have it more managable soon

Pros

Great engineering talent overall, and I was genuinely proud of the quality bar and vetting we upheld. The worklife balance was good. Leadership is genuinely good at rallying people in the short term... there’s a real charisma there. But the energy fades quickly once you realize it’s mostly smoke and little substance.

Cons

As another user said, leadership repeatedly follows the same cycle: hire a large engineering team, create a roadmap, ignore feedback when results fall short, abruptly pivot to a vague new direction, then blame engineering and lay off most of the team. Product talent is consistently underutilized, with very little trust or empowerment placed in the people closest to the work. Leadership puts outsized pressure on one or two people to define both the roadmap and the overarching product vision because the founders don’t seem to know what they want to build. Leadership talks about AI constantly but never ships anything meaningful, while the core product continues to stagnate. It was demoralizing to watch product managers spend weeks developing thoughtful specs and aligning early with founders, only for leadership to push back aggressively on the foundational assumptions, force multiple rewrites, and ultimately cancel or completely reinvent the project after several cycles of churn.

Pros

- lots of very high quality, intelligent, and very kind engineers - good culture that empowers work life balance and personal growth - high degree of autonomy in how we work - good level of engineering discipline - great tooling and devX - remote first, everyone is remote and we're great at doing things asynchronously and respecting each others time differences - encourages use of AI with a monthly AI budget for devs to use however they want - feels like the company is thriving in the current economy - the company keeps equity domain experts on staff and highly values their expertise, which is really helpful in building financial/equity products - great benefits for individuals

Cons

- equity domain can be a bit dry - equity domain is extremely complex and has a steep learning curve - huge application with a lot of legacy code and tech debt - benefits (premium coverage) are not great for families
