Pros
Many colleagues are brilliant, kind, and supportive. You’ll work alongside some of the most interesting and talented people from diverse backgrounds. Several mid-level managers do an excellent job protecting and supporting their teams, without them, even more people might have left.
Cons
While the company presents itself as innovative and people-focused, the reality can be quite different. The culture can feel unforgiving, with little tolerance for those who don’t fit a very narrow mold. Leadership is highly CEO-centric, with top-down decision-making and limited room for input. Expectations are often unrealistic, and burnout is common. High turnover speaks volumes, and what initially seems like a revolutionary product can feel less impressive from the inside.
