Pros

Great culture, super smart CTO, great mission, excellent co-workers.

Cons

I was let go without warning. No performance issues, etc. They simply said it was a business decision and this is an at-will state. This is all true, however, this is the first time I have ever been let go from a company with zero reason given. Exit was cold and quick.

Pros

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Cons

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pros

It was okay before the favoritism and gender pay gaps

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. When I found out I was making far less than a male coworker in the same role with less years of experience, they did nothing to rectify the situation. Also, the CEO is far too involved in Product and dictates rather than collaborates
