      Pros

      Leadership seems genuinely committed to the mission and to doing the right thing. Since the turbulent period in 2024 / 2025, they seem to be taking the right steps to address some of the challenges that came as a result of scaling fast.

      Cons

      During my time at the company, there was frequent shifting in company focus and strategy. It often felt like there wasn’t enough time to fully execute on one strategy before moving on to the next. But this appeared to begin changing before I left

      Pros

      The only pro is that you can work remotely

      Cons

      The company used to be a great place to work, but things changed significantly after new management took over in 2023-2024. Everything went downhill after that The salary is far below market standards for the same type of work. Management became extremely unpredictable, one day everything seemed fine, and the next day people were suddenly let go. Based on what I witnessed during my time there, the decisions about who got fired did not seem tied to performance. In several cases, it was clear to me that personal relationships played a bigger role than actual job results.
