Pros

- Very friendly, smart, respectable people to work with - Great product and continues to grow - Fair pay and benefits - Remote and flexible working environments

Cons

- People are penalized for making mistakes, creating an anti-mistakes culture (including new employees). Everyone is pointing fingers first rather than resolving as a team. - Employees are being over-worked resulting in burn out - Many reviews here may be manipulated, as HR asks all new employees to make a review

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We appreciate it! While we do invite new team members to share their thoughts about their onboarding experience, we want to ensure everyone knows this is an optional invitation and never a requirement. We'd love to continue this conversation and hear more from you, so please don't hesitate to reach out to your HRBP to chat further. - The People Team

Pros

- Awesome founders when they were involved in the day-to-day - Great benefits

Cons

- Lost a lot of what made this place special during the scale up from 100-1000 employees - Hired a ton of outside leadership which ultimately resulted in a culture shift and many of the people who worked there the longest leaving

Pros

* Flexible working arrangements and quite a bit of autonomy. * A genuinely supportive manager and a collaborative, positive team environment. * Competitive pay for the role and responsibilities.

Cons

In recent years the company has shifted in a direction that feels very different from the organisation I originally joined. * There is a strong emphasis on a “high performance culture”, but there is limited structure or support in place to help employees develop the skills needed to meet those expectations. * Career progression and compensation increases can feel closely tied to visibility rather than the quality or impact of the work itself. * The company is moving away from its fully remote approach. In-person events that were once optional are now mandatory, even for teams that may not directly benefit from them. The locations chosen do not always appear to consider the needs or circumstances of a globally distributed workforce, and employees are now required to go through formal accommodation processes simply to avoid international travel due to health or safety concerns.
