Toxic - beware

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to make a lot of money because of the ISOs. High ownership over projects. The team likes each other; we are just scared of all leadership.

Cons

The place operates on fear. There is a slight downturn in growth and the CEO fired 2 people. The only people who make it have no opinions and do whatever the founds say; no pushing back. I would very much caution anyone thinking of applying. I am actively looking to get after this past of month of craziness and toxicity. A few examples: one newer person brought up pro/cons of an idea an Executive via a document. He got on the phone with her and yelled for 15-20 mins and then hung up the phone. The reaction from the people on the phone - this is how he operates. Unacceptable. Another example is the double standard from the CEO - he allows brand and partnerships to have zero revenue accountability and then berates the growth teams when Meta CAC doesn’t hit target one week.

A place where you can bet on yourself

Pros

- Great coworkers: Easy to make stuff happen because many people are excited to be here. No one is apathetic. I've never gone to anyone for help and been turned down - Fast paced and intense: While we celebrate, leadership is will ask you what is next, and how you can raise your bar - Opportunity ridden: We're growing fast so there's no shortage of opportunity. Beware though, if you try to do too many things at once it's easy to be mediocre at many things instead of landing a few amazing things - Pay for performance: I got a raise & refresher before my 1st year in recognition for the work that I did. On top of that the company is going through a period of intense growth which is great for equity

Cons

- Requires a high level of self management: There have been weeks where I was unfocused and rabbit holed on what was easy instead of what was important. I immediately paid for it - Blaze your own trail: Because there are a lot of opportunities, if you get staffed to pioneer something, you may find out you're not great at it. It will be painful to become great at it, but honestly worth it in the end. You need to learn how to recover from failure fast

Worst place you'll ever work at

Pros

Coworkers (NOT leadership) are genuinely extremely talented, smart, and nice. It’s one of the few redeeming aspects of working here. Unfortunately, turnover is extremely high, and anyone who finds another job tends to leave quickly, so the average tenure is very low. The product itself is interesting, and many people join because they believe in its potential.

Cons

This company is the definition of toxic. If you value your mental health, avoid it at all costs. The environment is built on fear, disrespect, and constant criticism. Executives routinely insult employees personally rather than providing constructive feedback, and leaders consistently criticize everyone but themselves. It sounds extreme, but it truly is that bad. The company markets itself as a place where employees gain a lot of responsibility, but that simply isn’t true. Decision-making is completely centralized - every tiny choice must be approved by the CEO - so the sense of ownership is largely fictional. Despite this, teams are expected to deliver high-impact work without any direction, context, or clarity. When you do manage to complete the work, leaders respond with hostility and accusations of incompetence, offering no explanation of what they actually want. The culture is not customer-centric in any meaningful way. Products are shipped based on the CEO’s personal preferences, not on data, customer needs, or what would genuinely add value. Burnout is the norm. Employees are treated as interchangeable resources rather than people, and exceptional effort goes completely unrecognized—there’s never a “thank you,” only more pressure and more criticism. How little the company values its employees is also clear in the benefits: no 401(k) match, weak health insurance, and below-average salaries. This is the least of their problems, but working hours are extreme, with an expectation that you are available around the clock, including weekends. While hard work can be rewarding, there is zero respect for PTO, urgent personal issues, or basic boundaries.
