Pros

Documentation-first approach helps ensure asynchronous, distributed culture thrives. Values are clear, well documented, and lived by all employees. Tons of smart and motivated employees. Progressive and flexible working agreements. All remote. Periodic all team gatherings. Great outlook to capture a larger percentage of an expanding market. Compensation and Benefits are great.

Cons

100% remote takes some getting used to - sometimes hard to shut work off.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
