Pros

Challenging work, projects and you get to work with talented people. Perks and benefits were great. Their software and product has a potential bright future.

Cons

Perks and benefits are not worth the challenging leadership and management you will face here. Lot's of nepotism, favortism and THE WRONG KIND OF LOYALTY to certain employees to protect their high school losers click (the one that were never popular and dreamed of such attention). So they run their teams with fear and lack of transparency. Their initiative for 2019 was their customers and 2020 is their employees. True, honest leadership would not take advantage of Covid-19 to lay off hundreds of people. There was no strategy in how they laid off people. Their hyper growth of 500 employees to 1,300 in less than a year speaks a lot to their business strategies and decisions. There's a lot of business decisions that are not smart and too arrogant. A company with too much confidence without believing in their people and protecting less competent people to run their leadership is absolutely a horrendous experience. It is truly demoralizing in many ways. Lastly, the HR team is a complete chaos. They are not organized and low staffed. They do not know the meaning of what a true HR leader is. Some of the members in that team do not have qualities and competencies that exemplify a true leader that supports human and their humanity. HR questions are not answered in a timely manner. There is not one person in the company that respects the HR team. With an HR department like that, they will not survive in supporting the organizational growth and help better the culture. They lack business acumen. Change management is like pulling teeth with that team.

Pros

Innovative product and amazing customer base. You're surrounded by talented, smart colleagues from around the world.

Cons

The leadership or lack thereof is unfortunately bringing down the company. There is so much potential but employees are often focused on the wrong things such as filling out detailed reports on a daily, weekly, monthly basis that literally nobody reads. Everything is more complicated than it needs to be and processes are created to over engineer every single thing which leads to serious burnout and frustration.

Pros

If you think you'd like working for an emotionally stunted, neurodiverse leadership and funding team, who could give two hoots about it's employees, this would be the perfect landing spot.

Cons

This company was a basically a big 'con'. This was never a company built to last, and the fact they just laid off most of the staff shows. You'd think that with all the funding they've scammed over the years, they would've saved some for a 'rainy day'. But the 'leaders' have no idea how to lead. I mean, they got hundreds of millions of VC money, and the software is supposed to be 'predictive' and they couldn't 'predict' that there might be a rainy day? Or put some of the money into saving their staffs employment? Hiring hundreds of immature, entitled, inexperienced employees so you can say your 'growing' ? House of cards, destiny achieved.
