Pros

- Nice product with a lot of potential, very cute brand, makes you look good on LinkedIn. - Nice looking offices and equipment. - Occasional company trips and expensive swag. - Help with relocation. - When they fire you, they pay you for 2-3 months. - There are couple of very nice people, but please don't think that's enough to make it up to all the cons listed below.

Cons

- If you like working under constant pressure, stress, toxic environment waiting for the closest coworker, your direct manager or HR to stab you in the back, this is a perfect place for you. - Managers are only there to serve the top management, you are easily replaceable (don't worry, they will do their best to hide that from you). - I never experienced worst collective mental health. People are having breakdowns every single day, hiding to cry in bathrooms and being passive-aggressive on Slack. - Product is only chasing more money, they wrap it very nicely under a great design, so you start to feel bad after some time, after you realise it. - Almost every person in management position is a sociopath, they do great job in making you feel small, unworthy and disrespected on so many levels. - If you are a white male, you will have a good time here, and you can disregard most of these points. - They are firing people on almost monthly level, so you get to think about if this is your last day every day.
