Pros

- Lots of impressively smart, educated and experienced people - Lots of innovation and future-thinking - Remote work is genuine and allows for work-life balance Note: I left voluntarily and on good terms.

Cons

- Virtually no career paths - Zero employee review process with feedback from management - Lacks: tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, wellness funds - Promotes people to management who cause chaos and are generally abusive - Finger-pointing and deflecting blame is common practice - Nerd bullies are beloved and rewarded - CEO is rather emotional and moody - Total chaos overall Tech culture (especially in engineering) is already tough enough but this place seems to be reversing course with all of the improvements people have been striving to achieve over the years.

Pros

Exceptionally talented team. Every IC I worked with brought deep technical skills, genuine passion, and a collaborative, empathetic approach. Compensation and equity are strong.

Cons

Senior leadership lacks a clear vision, direction shifts constantly without concrete goals. Internal competition is actively encouraged by management, which creates a toxic dynamic. No 401k match. Raises and promotions are difficult to come by once you're in, and leadership feels largely out of touch with the realities on the ground.
