Pros

The average age of the company was very young - felt like ~25 - and senior leadership took the opinions of even very junior people seriously. If you are ambitious and able to play politics, you can rise in the ranks and win opportunities even if you have very little experience. It felt like I had more growth opportunities, especially lateral growth opportunities, than my peers at other tech companies.

Cons

Incredibly toxic work environment that may destroy your self-esteem if you don't have insane levels of self-confidence. Senior leadership team that is completely divorced from reality and not able to hire good leadership.

Pros

The compensation was strong and competitive, and it was consistently the best part of the job. If your priority is pay in the near term, that piece delivered.

Cons

I struggled with the lack of stability. It rarely felt like the ground was solid, and that uncertainty was hard to sit with over time. Return-to-office expectations seemed to change more than once, and I personally didn't find the reasoning behind those shifts clear. It was hard to plan around. I also found the performance review process difficult to trust. In my experience the outcomes didn't always seem to line up with the actual work, which made it hard to feel like I knew where I stood or how to grow. There was A LOT of turnover in leadership during my time there. With direction changing frequently, it often felt like priorities were in flux, which made it next to impossible to stay oriented.
