Disappointing. Toxic and hostile culture.

Pros

This did give me an opportunity to move up in my career. I don't regret taking on this job, but do regret putting so much into it.

Cons

The "Helpful" reviews here are already spot on. Be prepared to deal with pathological liars and folks who do favors outside of work to get what they want. There are also no performance review cycles, so good luck trying to fix any systemic issues at their core. Read: You can't. There are no actual career ladders and the one HR rolled out is a joke. Don't expect significant bumps or promotions after you negotiate your initial offer. Especially if you're a person with integrity and won't lie/do favors to advance. The equity isn't worth staying for as it is stingy for their size compared to other SF tech companies. The burnout is real. Get what you need from here and move out.

Pros

Highlighted here already, it's a pretty good place for juniors to get enough experience and then head to more mature and better paying companies afterwards.

Cons

There's not much to say besides the rest of the realistic reviews here. Most of the 5 star reviews are from first-week employees encouraged to write a good review and tell how cool is this place. It is not. It's pretty obvious what reviews are natural and realistic, as they're triggering the Head of people to respond and tell how they're looking into the issue. So much looking into the actual problems, that nothing has changed over the year (compare reviews from a few years ago versus newer ones and you'll see that people still complain about the exact same issues). And nothing would suggest things are getting any better. Responding to reviews with the same old BS, is only making it even worse. A pretty good place to work overall, but a disappointing employer nevertheless.
