Pros

Lots of trust, truly remote first and very flexible. Management is nice people, pretty much everyone is really nice. Lots of interesting technical challenges.

Cons

Engineering working under pressure and generating technical debt. PoC ending up being in production 'to be cleaned up later', but later of course doesn't come.

Pros

Some great people Really interesting product Share scheme means if they ever exit you could get paid out The pay is decent

Cons

There has been some terrible messaging around job losses at the company One day no more job cuts is the message and the next, more job cuts Leadership supposedly rejected a fund raise leading to cost cutting across the business Whilst they're smart people at the top, they don't know how to run a great company. It's time to step back and put someone external in charge to put the structure in place to take the business to unicorn status (if it's possible to get there).

Pros

Very young and enthusiastic team. Generally very good team spirit. Admittedly, it was a bit shaken toward the end of last year with missed funding rounds but generally good atmosphere.

Cons

Leadership team is somewhat inexperienced and this can show sometimes. For instance, in the preference for quick wins over strategic reflection and clarity.
