Pros

Altruist has an inspiring mission that was worth working towards. I got to know some great team members.

Cons

Certain members of the executive team have blundered by steering the company in the wrong direction. Product decisions have provoked public backlash from customers. Rather than addressing existing system issues, they prioritized feature releases, which led to frequent fires that affected the company's reputation. Employee morale has plummeted as decisions like RTO are made without regard to their well-being. Hard work and contributions went unrecognized.
