Pros

Sometimes other team members are amazing. You can find lots of collaboration at the individual contributor level. This is a company with relatively poor engineering practices, so if you know anything close to industry-standard, you can have an outsized impact.

Cons

No planning from the top, and literally drop top-level OKRs mid-year without comment. This makes it hardbtonset your own goals to align. A disregard for employee work/life balance and mental health. They focus on big marketing splashes rather than solid design principles, so you have frequent top-down, time-crunch deadlines with quality dropping.

Pros

I’m drawn to the company’s culture and its emphasis on flexibility. The starting salary is also quite reasonable.

Cons

They want you to move out of state to get promoted, the type of people they hire for management positions are questionable, raises are limited, and it’s extremely sales focused. Full of lazy people. If you aren’t a seller, good luck.
