Pros

The remote first work relationship is amazing! I cut 3 hours of commute out of my day. Everyone I' ve worked with so far has offered to help with Onboarding. The People Ops team is amazing! The Executive team is approachable and down to earth. The organization truly cares about the people.

Cons

You should be ready to learn a new way of thinking about and working towards efficiency, collaboration and results. The methodology is a bit overwhelming when coming from conventionally structured orgs. Give it a chance to sink in, it really works!

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
