Pros

Fast moving company with some good people who are driven.

Cons

One board member has created the toxic environment others on Glassdoor seem to have flagged over the past few months that is permeating around the company. She's pushed out people and created a sense of fear about crossing her that is really unhealthy. Lots of Careless People vibes now at Nscale. I would avoid.

Pros

Growing like crazy, tons of opportunity. Hard problems to solve that can be very satisfactory when you complete them. Remote first company. Great compensation packages. People that want to do the right thing and great people to work with that value contributions. Upper management makes efforts to recognize good work publicly. Management acknowledges there is a lot of work but also is concerned with life/work balance.

Cons

More work to do than you can shake a stick at due to the very rapid growth of the company. Processes and procedures are immature or missing. The very distributed nature of the company is sometimes an impediment to getting things done due to time zone and geography issues.

Pros

The company seems to have a PR machine or fairy godparent opening doors for it. Variety of work is great and learning opportunities on systems and projects

Cons

Where to start! Absent CEO, insecure leadership lacking in experience and maturity. A hollow culture. This is not a company that is being built to last years or decades, gpus are treated more carefully than the employees. Toxic, negative culture with a ceo either too self absorbed or immature to get to know people or thank them. Disinterested and fake words about values, company is built for an external audience and here, the loudest or newest new recruits are rewarded based on whichever leader brought them in. Cliques, limited support or development offered and quietly high attrition. If you leave, your reputation is tarnished by the leaders enabled by a cynical legal and people team. Do not come here except you are planning to remove from your CV. Question everything you are told. No one is actually in charge. It is jaunt got lucky. Not sustainable long-term because they hide problems and don't learn.
