Pros

Top notch engineering staff Nice people Caring admin/hr team Nice CEO No politics/leg-pulling Nice increments based on performance

Cons

Somewhat noisy office but admin keeps trying to solve it Night shifts occupy engineering seating space making it difficult to utilise flexible working hours option. But this is due to exponential growth of the company size, the management is looking for newer offices and have already moved to new ones at some sites

Pros

The people are the strongest part of the company. I’ve worked with talented, supportive teammates across product, sales, marketing, and design who genuinely care about solving difficult problems for customers. The mission is meaningful, and there are opportunities to work on products that have real-world impact. The pace is fast, which can be exciting if you enjoy building quickly and wearing multiple hats. There is also plenty of room to grow and take on responsibility if you’re proactive.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, and it sometimes feels like the organization hasn’t fully caught up. Priorities shift frequently, which can make long-term planning difficult and leave teams feeling reactive instead of strategic. Workloads can be heavy, and sustained urgency has led to burnout in parts of the organization. Communication between leadership and teams could be more consistent, especially around the reasoning behind major decisions and organizational changes.
