Pros
- diverse group of employees - smokers happy to have alternative products - was* once flush with cash - benefits are equal to any mid level company in the bay area
Cons
- currently under a hiring freeze and layoffs due to mismanagement at multiple levels across the company - definitely contributed to the youth vaping epidemic and the old CEO was fired - no clear direction and path to FDA approval murky at best - company is now actively being managed by a big tobacco company - company is under criminal investigation from federal and state agencies - No work life balance - No culture to speak of - Company thinks it is tech, but really it is a tobacco company - som epeople think the compensation is high, but it is not if you calculate the hourly rate - No funding for creative work - No funding for equipment - RSUs are worthless - Hard times are coming
