Pros

Really good product array. Work from home so you don't have to deal with your coworkers in person too often

Cons

Some of the worst culture I have ever experienced. Hire and fire culture across the board. Constant management turnover, talking up to 3 new bosses a year, each one worse than the last. There is a hierarchy of people who are close to leadership; they can do no wrong, and everyone else gets screwed. Incompetent leadership, especially in marketing and sales, I guess it doesn't matter too much when they will get fired within the year. Stay away!

Terrible place

Pros

Just a few colleagues. If you don't like your manager, you just wait a few months and you'll have a new one (probably worse than the previous).

Cons

Chaotic environment. Toxic culture. They'll add you to an on-call rotation. If you don't agree, say good bye to any raises and expect to be fired. 60 hours week are normal. You'll work weekends. One of the values of the company is 24x7 (so don't believe HR here when they say they don't expect you overwork because it is actually one of their values). If you don't, expect no raises, no options and you'll be fired quickly. Pay is below average. They implemented a stock option plan that is so absolutely ridiculous that everybody minimally competent should quickly leave. Benefits are below average. Culture is toxic and it starts at the very top. Whenever they replace leadership (often) they just look for small dumb dictators that believe engineers are just resources. They don't ever have a clear idea of what to do with the product and shoot in all directions, because they are clueless. They are all fired after a few months and replaced with a new bunch of mediocre dumb dictators. No career progression. Pure chaos. Pure marketing.
