Pros

Remote flexibility Unlimited PTO (in theory)

Cons

Compensation doesn’t match the workload Training is nearly nonexistent — you're expected to "figure it out" as you go Feedback is vague, inconsistent, and often delayed Constant restructuring and layoffs create job insecurity “Unlimited PTO” feels like a trap — the workload is so intense that taking time off just means coming back to 12-hour days to catch up

Pros

Carta has a strong product, a respected brand, and many talented employees who are passionate about their work. The company moves quickly and provides opportunities to work alongside smart colleagues across the organization.

Cons

The culture can feel cliquish and political, where success is sometimes influenced more by relationships and visibility than impact. Leadership frequently shifts priorities, creating confusion around expectations and making it difficult to execute effectively. There can also be a disconnect between executive leadership and the realities faced by teams, while managers are not always equipped to provide clear guidance, advocate for their teams, or help navigate competing priorities.
