Pros
Coworkers (NOT leadership) are genuinely extremely talented, smart, and nice. It’s one of the few redeeming aspects of working here. Unfortunately, turnover is extremely high, and anyone who finds another job tends to leave quickly, so the average tenure is very low. The product itself is interesting, and many people join because they believe in its potential.
Cons
This company is the definition of toxic. If you value your mental health, avoid it at all costs. The environment is built on fear, disrespect, and constant criticism. Executives routinely insult employees personally rather than providing constructive feedback, and leaders consistently criticize everyone but themselves. It sounds extreme, but it truly is that bad. The company markets itself as a place where employees gain a lot of responsibility, but that simply isn’t true. Decision-making is completely centralized - every tiny choice must be approved by the CEO - so the sense of ownership is largely fictional. Despite this, teams are expected to deliver high-impact work without any direction, context, or clarity. When you do manage to complete the work, leaders respond with hostility and accusations of incompetence, offering no explanation of what they actually want. The culture is not customer-centric in any meaningful way. Products are shipped based on the CEO’s personal preferences, not on data, customer needs, or what would genuinely add value. Burnout is the norm. Employees are treated as interchangeable resources rather than people, and exceptional effort goes completely unrecognized—there’s never a “thank you,” only more pressure and more criticism. How little the company values its employees is also clear in the benefits: no 401(k) match, weak health insurance, and below-average salaries. This is the least of their problems, but working hours are extreme, with an expectation that you are available around the clock, including weekends. While hard work can be rewarding, there is zero respect for PTO, urgent personal issues, or basic boundaries.
