Pros

The prototyping tool is great, and the OG crew did a lot to make the brand pretty recognized in the industry in the beginning, they're just not scaling well.

Cons

Overwhelmingly male engineering team, and recent layoffs involved almost all of the already few female engineers. This company also apparently disputed my unemployment claim, telling the rep that I was not laid off, but rather that I quit. We all received a severance package, so I wasn't planning to follow through with the unemployment claim, but now I am because of this shady shît.

Thanks for your feedback. We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone on the team so I’m disappointed to hear that this was your experience. Having recently joined as VP of Engineering (alongside other women senior leaders throughout the company) I can assure you that we are focused on maintaining a culture where people of any background are welcome and can succeed. With respect to your comment on unemployment there may be some kind of misunderstanding because the company has not disputed any unemployment claims for terminated employees. It is important to file your unemployment paperwork correctly in your state to get the right result; our operations team is happy to help so please do reach out if you are still having trouble! -Dana Lawson, VP of Engineering

Pros

Lots of great perks like free Starbucks drinks, free Amazon books related to your work, covered gym membership. In Sales, you are monetarily compensated for your success but there's also a base salary - which I think is a great balance. Your bosses don't hover over your shoulder. They trust you to get your work done and look for ways to help you do your job better. The people are so friendly. Even though it's a remote company, you get the chance to meet them through online meetings. Everyone's willing to help you out if you ask - no matter how busy they are. The company is still nailing down processes for different departments. In your role, you have a lot of authority to provide feedback and suggest process improvements. Everyone is important!

Cons

Haven't experienced any as of yet.
