Pros

Good medical insurance benefits. Also, it is a valuable learning experience for those who want to understand how a publicly traded company should not operate—gain insights here and apply them to succeed in your next company.

Cons

Too many to list. This is the first company where the accounting department feels like an overhead cost rather than a valued function. Processes are stuck in the stone age—month-end entries tracked in Excel and control sign-offs in Google Sheets. There's a constant focus on finding errors and pressure from the top, but little effort to encourage or motivate employees. A 'pay-for-performance' culture is nonexistent, and the same issues persist across all departments.

Pros

Work life balance is actually great. The people you work with are smart and generally fun to work with

Cons

Roadmap is very disorganized, you kind of have to assume you will work on any random project each day

Pros

Good benefits and good culture

Cons

Very AI focused with constant fear of layoffs by employees (based on my experience). Pay isn’t great, especially given the current cost of living. Poor communication and planning regarding updates and project rollouts.
