Pros
- it's fully remote - the salary is pretty good.
Cons
- People randomly get fired all the time. They fire a few people at a time for "performance reasons" so they don't have to call it a layoff, but everyone knows what's happening. It's clear that management wants some employees out and to bring their own people in. - It's hard to stay positive here. You rarely receive any praise for doing well and you're constantly worried about getting fired if one project goes poorly. There isn't much trust in between teams either. - You pretty much have to be a "Yes man". If you disagree with leadership, you will get fired. They make it known that they like people who hustle and don't stop to ask any questions. - Product vision changes often. We go all in on one thing, only for it to change a month later. - Jasper is a good wrapper on top of LLMs. Marketers find it useful but there isn't anything proprietary about it. - Engineering leadership does not care about you as an individual. There are zero meaningful conversations about how to help grow or advance in your career. Most engineers have been in the same position for years with no room for promotions or raises.
